Tips for parents

Helping your child with the Arabic letters

Keep it short

A few minutes every day works better than one long session. Stop while it's still fun.

Say it together

Repeat each sound out loud with your child. Hearing your voice helps it stick.

Spot letters around you

Point out letters you see in a mushaf, on a mosque sign or on a book cover.

Celebrate small wins

Praise every new letter. The stars and the daily streak in the app help too.
