Tajweed Basics · Friendly for Kids

What is Tajweed?

Tajweed is the science of reciting the Qur’an correctly — pronouncing every letter from its place with its proper qualities, so we read Allah’s words with clarity, beauty, and respect.

How do kids learn Tajweed with Tajweedoo?

We use a play-first approach: short sessions, visual cues, and immediate feedback.

1

Hear & Imitate

Kids listen to clear recitation and repeat key sounds to lock in accurate pronunciation.

2

See & Match

Color-coded letters and mouth maps help them connect sounds with places of articulation.

3

Play & Remember

Mini-games and quizzes build retention with fun streaks, stars, and rewards.

Core Tajweed Rules (kid-friendly)

Makharij

Each letter comes from a place: lips, tongue, throat — we learn where each sound begins.

Qaaf (ق) → back of the tongue
Sifaat

Letters have qualities: heavy/light, strong/soft. We practice hearing the difference.

Saad (ص) heavy · Seen (س) light
Noon Sakinah & Tanween

When Noon/Tanween is clear, hidden, merged, or changed — explained with examples.

أَحَدٌۭ (clear Noon)
Madd (Lengthening)

We stretch certain sounds for 2, 4, or 6 counts depending on the word and rule.

قَالُوا — 2 counts (basic)

See it in Qur’an examples

ٱهْدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٰطَ
Heavy **ص** in *As-Sirāt*.
قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
Clear Noon/Tanween at the end.
قَالُوا۟
Simple Madd (2 counts).
