A child may recognise the sound of a familiar surah long before they can find its letters on the page. Tell the teacher what your child already knows by ear, what they can read, and which language they use to ask questions. That gives the teacher a starting point and helps your child follow instructions from the first lesson.
Ask the teacher to model one sound and let your child repeat it before moving to a short phrase. When the same sound appears again, invite the child to point to its letter. If they can imitate the recitation but cannot identify the letter, practise recognition separately with a small set of examples.
At home, use the clip or example the teacher assigns. Listen once, pause, and let your child repeat a short part. At the next lesson, mention which part they could recall without prompting. That tells the teacher what to revisit and when to add something new.
