The American Quran Institute offers a structured curriculum for children in Orange County, guiding them from basic Quranic reading to confident recitation and comprehension through progressive, age-appropriate stages.
Children begin by learning all 28 Arabic letters used in the Quran, including their initial, medial, and final forms. Lessons focus on connecting letters correctly, distinguishing similar shapes, and practicing clear handwriting. Kids gradually write words, short phrases, and complete Quranic verses with accurate placement of vowels and diacritical marks.
Instructors guide children through correct pronunciation of Quranic sounds, including letters that are often challenging, such as ض, ظ, ط, ص, ق, and glottal stops. Kids practice reciting short verses, combining words into meaningful phrases, and responding to interactive exercises to reinforce memorization and fluency.
Children learn basic grammar and sentence structure within Quranic verses. Lessons include identifying nouns and verbs, singular and plural forms, and understanding subject-verb relationships in simple sentences. This foundation helps young learners comprehend the meaning of verses while building confidence to study the Quran independently.
Outcomes
Kids learn to pronounce all 28 Arabic letters correctly, including sounds that do not exist in English, such as ع, ح, خ, غ, and ق. They practice writing letters in all positions and quickly recognize words when reading Quranic verses.
Children practice forming correct recitation patterns, combining words into meaningful phrases, and applying proper pauses and pronunciation rules. They learn to recite verses accurately and confidently, developing fluency in both familiar and new passages.
Students develop the ability to understand Quranic verses by recognizing root letters, parsing simple sentence structures, and applying basic grammatical rules. This helps them engage with the Quran directly rather than relying solely on translations.
Children practice copying verses, writing short passages, and structuring sentences properly with correct diacritical marks. Exercises include simple journaling of Quranic lessons and writing phrases to reinforce memorization and comprehension.
Kids learn words frequently used in Quranic text and everyday contexts, including religious terms, common verbs, and phrases from daily routines. Understanding word roots helps them deduce meanings of unfamiliar words and expand their vocabulary naturally.

Real transformations from students who mastered the Quran with our courses
I took a class at Shaykhi Academy with Mr. Luqman, and I had a lot of fun learning with him. I even got the chance to meet him in Egypt! I learned a lot from my time with him, including Tajweed, Tahweed, Arabic reading, and Quran. I've been learning with him for about a year now. Thank you for your time.
I’m Yahia Sarhan, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Canada. I’ve been a student at Shaykhi Academy since 2019, so about three or four years now. It’s been a great learning opportunity for me and I’ve learned a lot about Islamic studies, the Quran, and Arabic reading. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s trying to learn.
