The consolidation year. No new surahs — instead the tajweed learned in QR-1 is turned from rules into habits: the madd types muttasil and munfasil, ghunnah, heavy and light letters, and the waqf and ibtida signs that govern where to stop and start.

Four lessons across the year, each one carried by daily reading practice rather than new material. Benchmark: recites with consistent, largely correct tajweed and reads unfamiliar Quranic text at a steady pace.
