Today many schools are based on Islam that is quality oriented. One guarantee of the quality their graduates in guardian students is the ability to read al-Quran well in every child. However, the current phenomenon is a lack of improvement in learning it especially in reading  al-Quran in several schools. The UMMI method helps institutions and teachers improve the ability to process Qur'anic learning that is effective, easy, fun and touching. This study uses a quasi-experimental method, using the quasi experimental design; the instruments used are observation, interviews, direct tests and documentation. The research was carried out in MIPA VIIIT class VII of Anni'mah Margahayu as the experimental class and class VII A of Muhammadiyah Margahayu as a control class with UMMI teacher subjects and 25 students in each class.  Based on the results of the analysis of the Paired Test T-test samples in the experimental class that were treated with learning using the UMMI method, it is known that the sig value. (2-tailed) of 0,000 <0,05. Because the sig value. (2-tailed) 0,000 smaller than 0.05, it can be concluded that the use of the UMMI method in the experimental class can improve students' Koran reading abilities.
