How can she teach her five-year-old sister to memorize Qur’aan?
Question

                I have a sister who is five and half years old and I want to teach her to memorize Qur’aan. Where should I start with her, and how?.
Praise be to Allah.
    Raising children to follow Islam from an early age, teaching 
    them to memorize the Book of Allaah and educating them is the Sunnah of the 
    Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and is regarded as 
    a very important matter, especially in this day and age. But it is something 
    that many people neglect with regard to their children and those under their 
    care, and they get distracted by things that will be of no benefit to them 
    in the Hereafter and may indeed harm them, and make them emotionally 
    attached to those who do not even deserve to be mentioned, let alone taken 
    as role models, such as actors, sports players and singers. 

    We appreciate our sister’s question and we ask Allaah to make 
    her steadfast and to help her in this matter and others, and to decree 
    reward for her on the Day of Judgement. What can be greater than meeting 
    one's Lord with a record of good deeds which includes guiding others to do 
    good or sharing in establishing good? 

    With regard to this little sister and teaching her to 
    memorize Qur’aan, we advise our sister to do the following: 

    1-Start with that which is 
    easiest to read and memorize, namely Soorat al-Faatihah, then with the last 
    juz’, working from the end. Starting with something easy helps one to move 
    on to more difficult material. Moreover she will have a real need for that 
    when she starts to learn the prayer.

    2-The amount to be memorized 
    every day should be small, so that she will be able to memorize it and it 
    will be easy for her to memorize what comes next. This amount will vary from 
    one child to the next, depending on his or her intelligence and memory.

    3-Review often so that what has 
    been memorized will stick. Do not let any day go by without memorizing 
    something new and reviewing the old.

    4-Encourage her by giving her a 
    prize every time she finishes a juz’ – for example – and memorizes it well.

    5-Start to move from prompting 
    her and having her repeat, which is usually the first stage in memorization, 
    to teaching her how to read, so that it will be easy for her to read the 
    Qur’aan by herself at times when her sister or teacher are not present.

    6-Let her get used to reciting 
    what she has memorized in her prayer, whether that is obligatory or naafil 
    prayer, once she reaches an age where prayer is required of her and she can 
    understand it.

    7-Let her get used to listening 
    to what she has memorized on tapes or on the computer, so that she can hear 
    both a good pronunciation and good recitation, and she can review and 
    consolidate what she has learned.

    8-Choose a good time for 
    memorization when there are few distractions – such as after Fajr or between 
    Maghrib and ‘Isha’. Avoid times when she is hungry, tired or sleepy.

    9-Praise her for what she has 
    memorized in front of neighbours and relatives, so as to encourage her and 
    encourage them to do the same thing; at the same time, pray for refuge for 
    her with Allaah for fear of the evil eye and envy (hasad).

    10-It is essential for 
    her to have one style of Mus-haf with no changes, so that the layout of the 
    verses will be imprinted in her memory.

    11-You should encourage 
    her to write out what she has memorized so that she may combine learning how 
    to write with reinforcing what she has memorized.

    And Allaah is the Source of strength.
