Why a retention-first Hifz academy matters
Online Hifz programs often push pace over retention. A strong academy designs memorization around stable review ratios, proper makharij, and calm accountability so students keep what they memorize.
Placement and pacing
- Initial fluency check: accuracy of makharij, stopping, and flow.
- Starter pace: 5–10 lines per session for kids; 10–15 for adults with solid Tajweed.
- Adjust every 2 weeks based on accuracy, not speed alone.
Daily and weekly structure
- New lines (10–15 minutes): slow, corrected recitation with a teacher.
- Light review (5–10 minutes): yesterday's portion at a calmer pace.
- Deep review (10–15 minutes): spaced repetition of last week and last month.
- Weekly check-in: recorded submission plus written feedback.
Retention framework to request
- 3:2:1 ratio: three parts review, two parts consolidation, one part new lines.
- Color-coded tracker showing stability score per surah.
- Monthly oral assessment with another teacher for fresh ears.
Parent and learner dashboard
- See attendance, corrections, and review queues in one place.
- Exportable notes so parents can supervise at home.
- Secure recordings for repeating teacher demonstrations.
Mistakes to avoid
- Skipping foundational Tajweed before increasing pace.
- Letting gaps exceed three days—consistency beats long sessions.
- Relying only on memory without guided meaning and reflection.
