This study investigates the implementation of a literacy program at MTs As'adiyah Putri Pusat Sengkang, Indonesia, aimed at enhancing the language competence of female Islamic students (santriwati). The research employs a qualitative case study approach, collecting data through observations, interviews, and document analysis involving teachers, students, and administrators. The literacy program encompasses various activities including daily reading sessions, writing workshops, vocabulary enrichment, and Islamic text comprehension exercises. Results indicate significant improvements in reading fluency, writing skills, vocabulary acquisition, and overall language proficiency among participants. The program successfully integrated traditional Islamic educational values with modern literacy pedagogies, creating a culturally responsive learning environment. Key success factors included strong institutional support, teacher professional development, diverse reading materials, and sustained implementation. This study contributes to understanding effective literacy interventions in Islamic educational contexts and provides practical implications for madrasah institutions seeking to enhance students' language competencies while maintaining their religious identity.
