This community service activity aims to improve the ability to read the Qur'an among children in Pengkol Hamlet, Ngrami Village, through guidance and the role of the Qur'an Education Park (TPQ). The background of this research is the low ability to read the Qur'an due to limited teaching methods, lack of intensive guidance, low motivation to learn, and inadequate TPQ facilities. This research uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods and Participatory Action Research (PAR) involving TPQ managers, teachers, and students. The results showed that children in Pengkol Hamlet generally have low Al-Qur'an reading skills, with many errors in the pronunciation of makharijul letters and incorrect application of reading laws. The presence of KDLK students in assisting teaching has made the learning process more conducive and allowed for creative activities such as competitions. Factors influencing the effectiveness of TPQ include teacher quality and competence, curriculum and learning methods, and family and community support. The main obstacle found is the large number of children (40 children) which is not proportional to the number of teachers. This community service is expected to create significant social change in improving sustainable Qur'an reading skills and strengthening religious values in the community.

This study aims to identify and understand the root causes of low student learning outcomes in writing descriptive texts in grade IV of elementary school. Based on the results of field observations, it was found that the majority of students scored below the Minimum Completion Criteria (KKM) in both cognitive and psychomotor aspects. In addition, student participation in learning activities is also relatively low, which is reflected in minimal interaction, lack of discipline, and lack of self-expression. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, using observations in the form of tests and documentation as data collection techniques. The results of the study indicate that lack of understanding of the structure and characteristics of descriptive texts, interaction in learning, challenges in using learning media, and low student motivation are dominant factors in decreasing the quality of learning outcomes. Other factors are low interest in reading and limited student vocabulary. This study recommends that learning be carried out with a more communicative, applicable, and meaningful approach according to the characteristics of students in elementary schools.
