This community service activity was motivated by the low ability of children in Korong Simpang Koto Hilalang to read the Qur'an. This condition was confirmed through field observation during a community service program (KKN), in which children who took part in mentoring at the local TPA still struggled to pronounce hijaiyah letters according to their correct articulation points (makharijul huruf), lacked reading fluency, and had not yet mastered basic tajwid rules. To address this problem, mentoring was carried out using the drill method, namely repeated and structured pronunciation exercises accompanied by direct correction from the mentor. This activity aimed to describe the implementation of the drill method in makhraj huruf hijaiyah learning to improve the Qur'anic reading ability of children in Korong Simpang Koto Hilalang. This service used a qualitative approach with a descriptive type, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews with the TPA teacher, children, and parents, and documentation. The subjects were 20 children of the TPA in Korong Simpang Koto Hilalang, mentored for approximately three weeks from 7 June to 30 June 2026. The results showed an improvement in Qur'anic reading skills, particularly in the correct pronunciation of makharijul huruf, understanding of the articulation points of hijaiyah letters, and the application of basic tajwid. Before mentoring, only 25% of children could read fluently; after the first cycle this rose to 50%, and after the second cycle reached 85%. This improvement indicates that the drill method is effective in correcting pronunciation errors, strengthening basic tajwid understanding, and building children's confidence in reading. In conclusion, mentoring in makhraj huruf hijaiyah learning through the drill method proved effective in improving children's Qur'anic reading ability in Korong Simpang Koto Hilalang, while also fostering motivation and love for the Qur'an, so that this program can serve as a learning model for TPA teachers.
