Quran Memorization for Kids: A Free Hifz Tracker for Parents
Keep track of your child's memorization of Juz Amma, surah by surah. Mark what they are learning, log each revision, and get a short plan for today. Free, no sign-up, and you can print it for the fridge.

Juz Amma, in memorization order
How to use the tracker
Write your child's name, then work down the list. The surahs are already in the order most teachers use: Al-Fatiha first, then the short surahs from An-Nas backwards. Tap a surah's status to move it from Not started to Learning to Memorized.
Each time your child recites a memorized surah from memory, press Revised today. The tracker uses those dates to build the daily plan above: one new portion, yesterday's surah, and the old surah that has gone longest without revision. That last part is the one parents tend to forget, and it is where most forgetting happens.
How much is enough each day?
- Ages 4 to 6: one to three short ayahs, learned by listening and repeating.
- Ages 7 to 9: three to five ayahs, with the mushaf open if they can read.
- Ages 10 and up: around half a page, if revision is keeping up.
If your child starts mixing up ayahs from surahs they already know, slow the new portion down for a week and spend the time on revision. Our teachers do the same in class: new memorization only moves forward when the old surahs are solid.
A 15-minute routine that works at home
- Old surah (3 minutes): your child recites the surah the tracker marks as "old" from memory.
- Yesterday (3 minutes): recite yesterday's portion twice without looking.
- New portion (7 minutes): listen to a reciter, repeat each ayah five times, then join the ayahs together.
- Close (2 minutes): recite the new portion once in full, and mark it in the tracker together.
The same time every day matters more than the length. After Fajr or right after school both work well. Stop while your child still wants to continue, so they come back to it happily tomorrow.
You don't need to be a hafiz to help
Plenty of parents who bring their children to us are still learning to read the Quran themselves. At home your role is the routine, the listening and the encouragement. The one thing a recording or an app cannot do is hear your child and correct a letter that comes out wrong, and small mistakes become habits quickly at this age. That is what a teacher is for.
If you want someone to do that part, our teachers listen to your child one-on-one, correct the recitation and send you a monthly report. See our Quran classes for kids, the full Quran memorization course, or read the 10 best short surahs to memorize first.
Questions parents ask
What age can a child start memorizing the Quran?
Most children can start at 4 or 5 with very short surahs like Al-Ikhlas and Al-Kawthar, learned by listening and repeating. Reading is not required at that age. From about 6 or 7, a child who has started the Noorani Qaida can begin to follow the words in the mushaf while memorizing.
Which surahs should my child memorize first?
Start with Al-Fatiha, because it is recited in every prayer, then go backwards from An-Nas through the short surahs of Juz Amma. The tracker lists them in this order. Leave the longer surahs at the start of the juz, like An-Naba and An-Nazi'at, until your child is comfortable.
How much should a child memorize each day?
For ages 4 to 6, one to three short ayahs is enough. Ages 7 to 9 can usually manage three to five ayahs, and older children often handle half a page. Keep the amount small enough that revision still fits in the same session. A child who memorizes a little every day goes further than one who memorizes a lot once a week.
I cannot read Arabic well. Can I still help my child?
Yes. Play a clear recitation, let your child repeat after the reciter, and use the tracker to keep the plan and revision on schedule. Your job is consistency and encouragement. Correct pronunciation should come from a qualified teacher who listens to your child recite.
Where is my child's progress saved?
Only in your own browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us and no account is needed. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, the progress resets, so print the chart now and then if you want a copy.
Is the tracker free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up. If you would like a teacher to listen to your child and correct their recitation, you can book a free trial class, but the tracker works on its own.
