Stage 1 is free for every family
Teach your child to read the Quran, one letter at a time.
A playful digital edition of the Baghdadi Qaida, معلّم القرآن. Your child reads each line aloud. The app listens to every sound, shows exactly what they said, and helps them get it right.
Free to start, no card needed. It runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and you can add it to your home screen. iPhone and Android apps are coming.

Try a lesson from the book
Three levels from the start of the Baghdadi Qaida. Listen, say it out loud, and see exactly what the app heard.
Your recording is only used to check your reading. It isn't kept.
How it works
A practice turn takes under a minute
Your child works through the book one line at a time, the same way they would with a teacher sitting beside them.
-
Step 1: Listen
Hear the line read clearly before trying it.
-
Step 2: Read aloud
Tap the microphone and read the line from the book.
-
Step 3: See what they said
The app shows exactly what it heard next to the right sound, with one gentle hint. When it isn't sure, it says so.
-
Step 4: Earn rewards
Stars and streaks add up to the rewards you choose, from screen time to something in their favourite game.
Rewards you choose
Every child is motivated by something different
Your child does the reading, and you choose what it earns: screen time, something in the game they love, a day out, or sadaqah. Mix them, and change them any time.
Rewards are part of the app. Start free and set them up for your family.
Start freeWhy it works
Reading the Quran shouldn't take years
With only a weekly class, the Qaida can stretch on for years. A little practice every day, and a child who wants to come back to it, gets through the whole book in months. Choose a pace to see how long.
About 7 monthsto finish the whole book (30 weeks)
The book has about 160 pages. Stage 1 takes about three weeks, one letter group a week. After that the plan counts the reading pages, about 134 of them, since the pages that introduce a new rule are taught in the app's Learn step.
-
A little every day
A few minutes at home whenever your child is ready. Practice doesn't have to wait for next week's class.
-
Mistakes caught early
The app shows a wrong sound next to the right one the moment it's said, before it becomes a habit. When it isn't sure, it says so instead of guessing.
-
Motivation that lasts
Stars, streaks and the rewards you pick keep your child coming back. Motivation is what finishes the book.
Reading is the key
Every letter is part of the key
The Quran calls itself guidance, light, mercy and healing. Reading it is how a child opens that treasure for themselves.
Each stage of the book adds a tooth to the key. When all six are there, your child can open the mushaf and read it on their own.
- Letters
- Short vowels
- Long vowels
- Tanween
- Reading rules
- Tajweed
Lend your voice
Help the app hear every child
The app gets better at listening by hearing many real voices read the book: children and grown-ups, every accent, quiet rooms and noisy kitchens. A few minutes of reading from you helps it hear the next child fairly.
- Pick a stageLetters, short vowels, long vowels and more.
- Read each card aloudTap the mic, say the word, play it back if you like.
- Send it and go onDo five words or fifty. Every one helps.
- No account, no name, no email.
- Children record with a parent or guardian beside them.
- A person on our team listens to each recording before the app learns from it.
- Delete everything you've sent, any time, from the same page.
Recording opens very soon. The page will tell you when it's ready.
Stories from families
What families say
We're just getting started, so this space is waiting for your story. Tried the free lesson or the app? Tell us how it went.
Your story could be the first one here.
Short and honest is perfect: what your child enjoyed, what clicked, what you'd change.
Privacy
Your child's voice stays private
We're recording children, so we hold ourselves to a strict standard.
Nothing is recorded until you say yes
A parent turns on the microphone for each child. Without that, it stays off.
No names or birthdays needed
We ask for an age range and a nickname you choose. That's all the app needs.
Helping the app improve is a separate choice
Recordings help the app learn only if you opt in. Practice works the same either way.
Delete it whenever you like
Remove a child's recordings and progress from your account at any time.
