Growing Quranic Literacy Through Mother's Quranic Stories Toward Their Children

Abstract

Mother plays an important figure in a child’s life. Children can learn various things from their mothers, so, naturally, mothers have a bigger role in introducing Islamic values into children’s lives. This research aims to find the right way to foster Al-Quran literacy in children’s mothers. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The research participants were mothers who had primary education and young children. The research results proved that the experimental class gain was 0.522 or was in the medium category, higher than the control group. This explains that continuous training can improve the understanding and skills of mothers with basic education. And this can help mothers to carry out literacy activities at home that are appropriate to the child’s development and meet Islamic values. The work created by mothers and children makes children enthusiastic about taking part in Quranic literacy learning and fosters children’s interest in knowing various things in the Al-Quran.
