Penguatan Kemampuan Membaca Al-Qur'an melalui Pendampingan Literasi Al-Qur'an bagi Siswa Kelas V dan VI SDN 2 Jenangan

Abstract

Many students in the diniyah madrasah (madin) of SDN 2 Jenangan, Sampung, Ponorogo, appeared able to read the Qur'an in daily practice, yet closer observation revealed that they had not fully memorized the hijaiyah letters and struggled with the correct application of tajwid rules, particularly the length of vowel sounds (mad) and recitation laws. This gap became apparent during a community service (KKN) program when the author, who also taught at TPQ Ad-Darojah, compared the reading ability of the same students across both learning settings. This article aims to describe the design, implementation, and outcomes of a Qur'anic literacy mentoring program conducted for fifth- and sixth-grade students at the madin. The program used a descriptive-qualitative, mentoring-based approach, with data gathered through participant observation, informal interviews with key informants, and documentation across weekly sessions held every Monday from 27 July to 19 August. Data were analyzed descriptively using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman (1994) — data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing/verification — by comparing students' reading conditions before and after the mentoring sessions. The results indicate gradual improvement in hijaiyah letter recognition, greater awareness of vowel-length rules, and increasing enthusiasm for learning, although mastery of tajwid remained limited due to the short duration of the program. The mentoring program is concluded to be a relevant, low-cost strategy for strengthening Qur'anic literacy that requires continuation through a more structured and sustained curriculum.
