Tuhfatul Atfaal is a poem by Imam Al-Jamzury for those who wish to learn tajweed (rules of Quranic recitation). It's shorter and easier than the more famous Al-Jazariyyah (also known as Mandhoomatul Muqaddimah).
Here is a link to a youtube playlist with videos of the poem being read/recited by different reciters. Feel free to choose the one that is most suitable to you.

1. A Gift for Childen (Novices) - Translated by Brother Amr: This is on one sheet, and the meaning is also summarized on one page. (BEST OPTION) (2 Pages)
2. The Children's Bequest - Translated by Dr. Abu Zayd (Please note that there is an error in translation on page 4. It states "these precepts most perfect." Unfortunately, the author is referring to his teacher (who is mentioned in this line) as most perfect and not the precepts. Obviously, there is some issue of exaggeration here.) (12 Pages)
3. A Gift for the Children - Translated by Sister Ahlaam. (16 Pages)
