Is this memorization or reading?

Reading. The aim of Lesson 17 is a child who can read an unfamiliar verse on their own. The usual next step is Juz Amma. Memorization is a different discipline. We do not do it.

It is the primer most U.S. Muslim communities recognize, so you know the page when you sit beside your child. We first planned on Iqro, but it is mostly used in Indonesia. U.S. schools teach Noorani Qaida.

Which edition do you follow?

Editions vary. We follow the Arabic edition in seventeen lessons, lesson for lesson. Lessons 1 and 2 are open now. The rest open in the book's order as they are finished, and they are included in your plan.

My child already knows some letters. Do they start at the beginning?

Every child starts with Lesson 1, the 28 letters. A child who knows them moves through it quickly, and it is good revision.

How long does a lesson take?

Ten to fifteen minutes. The lesson ends, then waits for tomorrow. After Maghrib, before bed, on the sofa.

What if my child gets something wrong?

Nothing bad. Up to Lesson 8 the app never scores. Your child hears themselves back and tries again when they want. Correction stays gentle until Lesson 16.

Do you use streaks and rewards?

No. No gems, no XP, no quests, no nagging. Research with families told us the problem is time, not motivation.

What happens if a lesson is interrupted?

It picks up where it stopped. Letters your child finished stay finished on that device.

Can more than one child use it?

Yes. One account and one price cover the family. For now, children on the same device share one lesson path.

Does the app record my child's voice?

Only if you allow it. Up to Lesson 8 your child can record and hear it back. That recording stays on your device and is never sent to us. From Lesson 9 the app listens while the read button is held, scores, then deletes the clip.

What if I say no to the microphone?

Your child says each letter out loud instead. Nothing else changes. We ask once.

What do you collect about my child?

Only what you pick at sign-up: an age stage and a reading level. No name, no birthday, no photograph, no child account or email. The privacy note lists everything we hold.

Will I see my child's mistakes?

No. The app never reports mistakes to you, and up to Lesson 8 it does not judge them at all. A child marked in front of a parent often stops trying.

Is there an app to install?

No. It runs in the browser on a phone, tablet or laptop.

Does it work offline?

Not yet. Lessons need an internet connection.

Can we start tonight?

Yes. Sign up, confirm your email, and Lesson 1, all 28 letters, opens straight away. Lessons 1 and 2 are open today. The rest follow in order.

Why does correction start at Lesson 9?

The letters and vowel marks do not need the app to judge them. Your child listens, compares and decides. From Lesson 9 the app listens and points out missed or swapped words.
