Where Does Qa'idah Fit Within the Curriculum?
Qa'idah provides the foundation for Arabic reading, helping students develop confidence in recognising letters, pronunciation and reading fluency before progressing further.
Alongside this reading journey, students also study Islamic Studies throughout their time at Ar-Rayyan Foundation, ensuring knowledge, worship, manners and character develop together.
This creates a balanced Islamic education where reading skills and Islamic understanding progress side by side.
