This study examines the sorogan method as an individualized pedagogical approach for enhancing Qur’anic reading competence in public secondary schools. Situated within a Qur’anic Reading and Writing (BTQ) program, the study explores how a traditional Islamic instructional practice is adapted to a formal school context, identifies factors that support and constrain its implementation, and analyses its pedagogical impact on students’ Qur’anic reading competence and religious engagement. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through classroom observations, semi structured interviews, and document analysis involving Islamic education teachers, student mentors from Islamic student organizations, teaching practicum students, and learners. The findings indicate that the individualized nature of the sorogan method, supported by talaqqi, musyafahah, and peer assisted learning, facilitated improvements in reading fluency, pronunciation accuracy, and the application of basic tajwid principles. In addition to technical reading skills, the approach contributed to the development of students’ religious attitudes, learning motivation, and collaborative responsibility. This study argues that the sorogan method, when implemented in public school settings, provides a pedagogically viable and culturally grounded model for strengthening Qur’anic literacy within contemporary formal education.
