<![CDATA[The application of traditional methods in learning Arabic is considered less successful, especially in introducing hijaiyyah letters, which results in stronger students' reading skills at the beginning level. The phonics method in Aṣwat learning is one of the many innovative language learning methods. A phonics method is a sound-based approach to teaching reading. This study aimed to see how much influence the phonics method had in teaching Aṣwat on students' reading skills at MIN Al-Muawanah Karawang. This research is an experimental one-group pretest-posttest design with the type of one-shot case study experiment. The research data were obtained from the pretest and posttest results, which who tested on a sample of 21 students at MIN Al-Muawanah Karawang. Data analysis and hypothesis testing used the normality test, one sample t-test, and paired sample t-test. The results of this study indicate that the difference in the average score of students before and after using the phonics method reached a difference of 55.89, where the initial, middle score was 7.22, and the average post-treatment score was 63.11. The difference in the mean scores was tested using a paired sample t-test with a significance value of 0.00 <0.05, which means that the use of the phonics method for nine fourth-grade students significantly affected students' beginning reading ability. Therefore, the results of this study can be used as an alternative to solving student problems in Aṣwat learning by educators, which has implications for increasing students' reading skills at the beginning level. ]]>
