How to use this booklet. Read the ayat together first. Then let your child pick 3 or 4 pages for one sitting. Every page has two levels: Level 1 for younger children (about 5–7), Level 2 for older ones (about 8–10). Children at both levels can work at the same table.

The 4-I journey in this booklet

  • Inspire: read, trace and colour, then doodle what the ayat make you wonder about.
  • Investigate: find the surah in a real mushaf, match ayat to meanings, and play with its words, letters and numbers.
  • Integrate: build sentences, find words, and start memorising.
  • Impart: choose one plan for this week and show your work to someone.
