The Pre-Tasmi activity is an important component of the Qur’an learning programme at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten. It is designed as a preparatory stage before children take part in the actual tasmi and munaqosyah. Through Pre-Tasmi, teachers are able to assess children’s readiness in memorisation while also providing them with an initial experience in a more structured assessment setting.
This activity was attended by pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten who had reached the qualification of memorising Juz 30, starting from Surah An-Nas to Al-Muthaffifin. Each child participating in the Pre-Tasmi had undergone a gradual process of learning and revision (murojaah), equipping them with sufficient memorisation to present before the examiner.
The Pre-Tasmi was conducted in a specially prepared tasmi room to ensure a conducive and focused atmosphere. With a calm and well-organised setting, children were able to concentrate better when reciting their memorisation. This supportive environment also helped them feel more confident and comfortable throughout the activity.
The activity took place over four days, from Monday to Thursday, 6th to 9th April 2026. Each day, children followed a predetermined schedule, ensuring that the process ran smoothly and that every participant was given an equal opportunity to perform.
The purpose of the Pre-Tasmi activity is to familiarise children with performing in front of others while demonstrating the extent of their memorisation ability. In addition, it serves as an initial evaluation tool for teachers to determine children’s readiness before they undertake the actual tasmi and munaqosyah. Through this activity, children are trained to build confidence and reduce nervousness when performing.
In its implementation, teachers arranged a structured Pre-Tasmi schedule for each child. Every pupil was assigned different surah limits according to their memorisation ability and was assessed by different examiners. This system supports a more objective and comprehensive evaluation. With a well-planned approach, the Pre-Tasmi activity is expected to run smoothly and provide a meaningful learning experience for every child.
