As you know that we are approaching the final day of our Quran Academy class for this semester. We will be having a kids majlis this Thursday to commemorate the shahadat of Bibi Sayyidah (sa) iA.
For Level 1 we have been working on Surah al Fatiha which the kids will be reciting on the majlis day. I am sharing a pdf that we used in class for proper pronunciation of the letters. Also a video link that you can use for practice. Pls do make sure that the kids are practicing the surah at home.

Surah Fatiha

Brief overview of what was covered last week. We continued working on Surah al Fateha and reviewed connected letters by playing a 3 letter game and read the middle letter.
Huruf al Muqatta’at was introduced. We went through these letters, how they look, where they appear in the surah and the way of recitation with stretches. We practiced by listening to Qaida Nooraniya video, using huruf card and letters to form them and then finding them in the Quran.

Brief overview of what we covered last week. On Thur, we reviewed all the letters, sounds and worked on Surah Al Fatiha.
On Friday, along with the Surah, reviewing the letters and sounds, we learnt about the 7 disjoint letters. We saw how they connect from only one side through stories and tried pointing them out in different words. We also went through Surah Feel and tried recognizing all the letter in this surah.

Hope you all are doing well, iA. Brief update on what we’ve covered so far. We finished all the Arabic alphabets last week through different stories, activities and games. We will continue to review them in class each week. We will begin to work on joining letters and words in more detail (to be able to recognize the letters correctly) along with basic rules.
