This study examines the implementation of the Rubaiyat method assisted by spinning wheel media and its effectiveness in improving Qur’an reading skills among seventh-grade students at SMP Negeri 2 Cileunyi. Preliminary observations revealed difficulties in reading fluently, distinguishing between long and short vowels, and recognizing similarly shaped Hijaiyah letters. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed. Data were collected through classroom observations and Qur’an reading tests and analyzed using descriptive statistics, N-Gain, and an independent-samples t-test. The results showed that the Rubaiyat method assisted by spinning wheel media was implemented very well, achieving an average observation score of 89%. Students’ Qur’an reading skills improved following the intervention, as indicated by an N-Gain score of 0.324, categorized as moderate. The independent-samples t-test produced a significance value of <0.05, indicating a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Therefore, the Rubaiyat method assisted by spinning wheel media effectively improves students’ Qur’an reading skills.
