Abstract

The purpose of this study is to encourage students to get used to praying in every activity, especially activities that are often carried out such as praying to sleep, wake up, want to eat, and finish eating.  The subjects in this study were 32 students, 19 male students and 13 female students in grade 1 at SDN Cihanjawar for the 2023 academic year. The method used in this study was PAR (participatory action research).  The steps taken in this study included: (1) the teacher tell stories; (2) the teacher convey prayers using the storytelling method; (3) the students read the prayers given; (4) the students memorize the prayers that have been delivered; and (5) the students get used to reading the daily prayers in every activity. The instrument used was observation and interview about the students’ development in memorizing the prayers and the effectiveness of the story telling method. Based on the results of the implementation, it is known that forming the habit of reading daily prayers through the storytelling method for grade 1 students at SDN Cihanjawar has been very good after participating in the activities carried out.  The habit of reading daily prayers becomes better after students are accustomed to reading prayers for every activity that is carried out.  Furthermore, through the application of the storytelling method, students are more enthusiastic in memorizing prayers and it is also easier for children to remember when conveyed through the storytelling method.
