5 Tips for Exclusive Islamic Reading and Writing Guidance

Published almost 3 years ago • 2 min read

Dear Caring Muslim Parents,

I know you feel like you're in a tough spot. You've been trying your best to teach your child to read and write, but it seems like you've hit a brick wall.

I understand your concerns, and I'm here to offer a solution that aligns with your values and aspirations.

With this in mind, I want to offer you five impactful strategies to not only integrate Islamic values into your teaching but also foster your child's confidence and enthusiasm for learning:

1. Embrace the Journey, Not Just the Destination: Encourage your child to focus on their efforts rather than fixating solely on the outcome. By appreciating the process and hard work, they become more resilient in the face of challenges. When the emphasis is on learning, mistakes become opportunities for growth, rather than causes for frustration or disinterest.

2. Celebrate Progress, Big and Small:

Building your child's confidence is crucial. Display their before-and-after work to showcase their growth. For instance, place a sheet where they first started alongside a piece with their recent writing. Even if they're very young and it's scribbles versus letter writing, this visual progression fuels their self-esteem.

3. After Hardship Comes Ease:

Just like us, children need reminders of the rewards that await them after they overcome challenges. Remind them that their efforts are cherished by Allah, and their progress accumulates as good deeds. Encourage them to set their sights on their goals for Jannah, and talk about how their efforts contribute to building a better future.

4. Inspire Through Drawing Stories:​
Boost their writing confidence through creativity. Drawing stories doesn't have to involve characters – it could be scenes or settings. Have them draw the beginning, middle, and end, followed by an "oral" storytelling session. This approach fosters both writing skills and imaginative expression, particularly in stories about the Prophets (Peace be upon them).

5. Learn Through Play:

Role Reversal A playful way to understand your child's perspective is through role reversal. Let them be the teacher and you, the student. If they correct you and seem harsh, it's a chance to rethink your teaching methods. Is their correction boosting their confidence, or could a gentler approach be more effective?

Is this still not enough to make a difference?

﷽ Dear Reader, Asalamualakum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Baraktuhu, One thing I learned from working in Islamic schools was that Muslims should always strive for excellence… That we don't slack just because we are all Muslims and will understand… Or that we use the word ‘’fi sabilillah’’ as an excuse not to give people their rights….
