Learn with Ijazah-holding Al-Azhar teachers. Your first 30-minute lesson is free.
Looking for an online Quran website for kids? Between apps, videos and academies there is a lot on offer. What matters most for a child is the quality of the teacher, safety and follow-up. Here is a simple checklist to choose.
App, videos or lessons with a teacher?
| Option | Advantages | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Apps and games | Fun, for discovering the letters | Do not correct pronunciation |
| Videos and audio | Listening to good reciters | No interaction, no follow-up |
| Online group classes | Cheaper | The child recites little, corrections are rare |
| One-to-one lessons with a teacher | Live correction, adapted pace, follow-up | Requires a subscription |
Apps and videos are a good complement, but to learn to read and recite correctly a child needs a teacher who listens to them.
Criteria for choosing
- Qualified teachers, ideally holding an ijazah with a sanad.
- One-to-one, short lessons (30 minutes) suited to a child’s attention span.
- Safety: a choice of male or female teacher for boys, female teachers only for girls, and parents able to attend.
- Follow-up: regular reports for parents.
- Language: explanations in English for a child at school in an English-speaking country.
- A free trial to see whether the child and teacher get on.
