<![CDATA[ABSTRACT Students’ ability to read the Qur’an still faces various challenges, particularly in the accuracy of makhraj, fluency, application of tajwid rules, and tartil, highlighting the need for systematic learning methods that are appropriate to students’ characteristics. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the Ummi Method in improving students’ Qur’an reading skills at MI Muhammadiyah 2 Kedungbanteng. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling to select the informants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the madrasah principal, teachers, students, and parents as informants. Data were analyzed interactively through data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was established through technical triangulation. The results showed that the Ummi Method was implemented systematically through seven learning stages and supported by classical read-and-listen activities, repeated practice, direct correction, and continuous evaluation. Positive development was observed in students’ makhraj, fluency, tajwid, and tartil. The effectiveness of the implementation was also influenced by teacher competence, student readiness, learning media, and support from the madrasah and parents. These findings indicate that the Ummi Method has the potential to support structured and sustainable Qur’an reading instruction.
