<![CDATA[This study aims to describe teacher efforts in introducing Hijaiyah letters through the singing method for children aged 5-6 years at RA Nurul Ulum Payung Rejo. Understanding Hijaiyah letters is a basic ability that children must have in learning the Qur'an. However, initial observation results showed that most children still experienced difficulties in recognizing the shapes and sounds of Hijaiyah letters due to monotonous learning methods. This study employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive research design. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. Research subjects included the principal, classroom teachers, and students. The results showed that teachers have implemented learning in a planned manner through the preparation of lesson plans adapted to student characteristics. The implementation of the singing method was supported by various strategies, such as using interesting learning media, creating a conducive classroom atmosphere, individual and emotional approaches, providing motivation and rewards, implementing educative discipline, conducting periodic evaluation and reflection of learning, and collaborating with parents. The singing method proved effective in helping students overcome difficulties in distinguishing Hijaiyah letters, pronouncing sounds, and understanding changes in letter forms within words. Learning became more enjoyable, increasing student activity, self-confidence, and learning motivation. Thus, the singing method can be an effective alternative learning strategy in improving the ability to recognize Hijaiyah letters in students.]]>
