This community service activity was motivated by the low Al-Qur'an reading ability of some students at Madrasah Diniyah Takmiliyah Awaliyah (MDTA) Istiqomah, Jorong Salimpaung, Nagari Malalak Utara, Malalak Utara District, Agam Regency, as well as the limited number of teaching staff, consisting of only three teachers responsible for four grade levels. The Al-Qur'an reading assistance program was carried out as one of the work programs of the Community Service Program (KKN) for students of the Islamic Religious Education Study Program, with the KKN students divided to assist santri (students) at each grade level. The approach used was participatory assistance (Participatory Action Research) through activities of directly listening to santri's iqro'/Al-Qur'an recitation and providing corrections until the santri were able to read accurately. Data were collected through field observation, initial interviews with MDTA teachers, and activity documentation, then analyzed using a descriptive qualitative method. The results of the activity show that assistance conducted regularly and in small groups helped ease the teaching burden of the MDTA teachers and had a positive impact on the fluency of the santri's reading, particularly in the mastery of hijaiyah letters and basic tajwid. This activity is expected to serve as a model for collaboration between KKN students and non-formal religious educational institutions in addressing the limitations of teaching staff.
