The question
Can I know a method for teaching the Qur'an to a child aged two years and three months?
Our answer
Repetition, verse by verse. Begin with Surat al-Fatihah until she masters it, even if it takes time, then move on to the short surahs.
Read to her, then with her, then let her read on her own, then read with her verse by verse.
In addition, play the surah she's memorizing next to her most of the time — even while she's playing — using al-Hussary's teaching mushaf, for example. A child's voice repeating draws the child's attention and helps her master the memorization with the least effort.
