Tamheedi Qaeda Card

A card rather than a book, which is exactly its advantage. It wipes clean, survives a small child, costs almost nothing to replace, and can be handed to every student in a class at once.

For a weekend school starting a new intake, a stack of these is more practical than a stack of books.

Where a Qaida Fits

A qaida is the first book. It teaches the Arabic letters, their shapes in different positions, the vowel markings, and how sounds join — everything needed before a student can open a mushaf at all.

Skipping it is the commonest mistake in teaching Quran reading. A child handed a mushaf before the letters are secure learns to guess from memory rather than read, and the habit is very hard to undo later.
