<![CDATA[This Community Service Program (PKM) was conducted at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Nahdlatul Ulama (MTs NU) 09 Wringin, Bondowoso Regency, to optimize students’ Qur’anic reading abilities through a group-based Tahsinul Qiro’ah mentoring program. The program was motivated by the heterogeneous Qur’anic reading abilities of eighth- and ninth-grade students, as well as limited instructional time and a shortage of mentors in the Diniyah Pagi program. The program employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, actively involving students and the madrasah through several stages, including initial assessment, grouping students according to their ability levels, tahsin mentoring, Qur’anic reading practice, evaluation, and follow-up activities through peer tutoring. The participants consisted of 40 eighth- and ninth-grade students. The results demonstrated improvements across all assessed aspects of Qur’anic reading ability. Students’ makhraj accuracy increased from 68.5 to 82.3, representing an improvement of 13.8 points. The application of tajwid rules increased from 65.2 to 81.7, representing an improvement of 16.5 points, while reading fluency increased from 70.1 to 84.6, representing an improvement of 14.5 points. Overall, the average Qur’anic reading ability score increased from 67.9 to 82.9, representing an improvement of 15.0 points. Changes were also observed in the distribution of students’ ability levels. The number of students in the basic category decreased from 18 students (45%) to 8 students (20%), while the advanced category increased from 7 students (17.5%) to 15 students (37.5%). These findings indicate that group-based Tahsinul Qiro’ah mentoring improved the quality of students’ Qur’anic reading while reducing disparities in their reading abilities. The model also provides an alternative strategy for addressing limitations in mentoring personnel and instructional time through ability-based grouping and peer tutoring. Therefore, group-based Tahsinul Qiro’ah mentoring can serve as a structured, participatory, and sustainable strategy for improving Qur’anic reading instruction in madrasah settings.]]>
