Arabic Letter Recognition
Identify Arabic letters and become familiar with their different shapes and sounds.
Begin your Quran learning journey by understanding Arabic letters, their sounds and the signs that shape their pronunciation. Our online Noorani Qaida course is designed to help beginners build reading skills step by step.
Suitable for new learners and students building their reading foundations.
Noorani Qaida is a widely used introductory learning resource for students who are beginning to read Arabic and the Quran. It introduces the letters and common pronunciation marks gradually, helping learners progress from individual letters to connected sounds and words.
In online lessons, students can practise letter recognition, listen to pronunciation guidance and read aloud with a teacher. Regular revision helps reinforce the skills needed before moving on to longer Quran passages.
The course can suit children who are just starting out as well as older learners who want to strengthen their reading basics. Progress depends on each learner's starting level, practice and learning needs.
