    Reading Foundations · Cycle 3 · 4 weeks

    1. 01Today's win

      Amina read the whole of Surah Al-Ikhlas from the mushaf without help, with correct harakat on every word.

    2. 02Where we're still working

      She still confuses ح and ه when they appear in the middle of a word. We'll spend five minutes on this at the start of each lesson.

    3. 03One thing to do at home

      Ask her to read Al-Ikhlas aloud to you once before bed, and point to each ح as she says it.
