Lesson Keywords

- Surah – A chapter of the Holy Qur’an.
- Qur’an – The holy book of Islam.

Note for teachers using this lesson plan
Ensure clear and slow pronunciation of the Arabic verses for Primary 1 pupils. Use gestures and simple language when explaining the meaning. Patience and encouragement are key to helping young children memorize the Surah. You may use flashcards with Arabic words to help with recognition.
