About this course
Every confident reader starts with the basics. Qaida lessons introduce Arabic letters and their sounds before moving on to vowels, joined letters and short reading exercises. The emphasis is on understanding each step rather than rushing through a book.
What you’ll learn
- Recognising Arabic letters in different forms
- Pronouncing letters with careful listening and repetition
- Reading short vowels and basic vowel combinations
- Joining letters and reading simple words
- Recognising sukoon, shaddah and tanween
- Preparing to begin Quran reading
Is this the right starting point?
This course is suitable for a child starting their first lessons, an adult beginning from the alphabet, or someone who wants to rebuild an uncertain foundation. Lessons are adjusted to the learner’s starting point.
How lessons work
Lessons combine a short introduction, guided reading and repeated practice. Earlier letters and sounds are revisited as new ones are introduced. The institute can help you decide when to move from Qaida to Nazra Quran.
