This study aims to describe the implementation of an accelerated program for reading classical Islamic texts (kitab kuning) using the Nubdzatul Bayan method among Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students and to analyze its level of effectiveness. This research employed a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design conducted at MI Darullughah Wal Karomah, Kraksaan, Probolinggo. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the head of the madrasa, curriculum coordinator, teachers, and students. The data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the implementation of the accelerated program consists of three main stages: planning, implementation, and evaluation. In the planning stage, the program is systematically designed by considering students’ readiness and teachers’ competencies. During the implementation stage, learning activities include memorizing nadzom (rhythmic texts), repetition of materials, and the use of musical approaches that enhance students’ motivation and engagement. In the evaluation stage, written tests, oral tests, and level progression systems are used to measure students’ mastery continuously. The study indicates that the program is relatively effective in improving students’ ability to read classical Islamic texts and enhancing their learning motivation. However, the effectiveness is not evenly distributed among all students. Differences in students’ abilities and limited instructional time are identified as the main challenges. Therefore, further development of the program is needed, particularly in adopting adaptive teaching strategies and improving time management to achieve more optimal and equitable learning outcomes.
