The discussion method in this study uses a descriptive qualitative method approach. The problems faced by teachers of Islamic religious education in learning the local content curriculum for reading and writing the Qur'an can be divided into supporting factors and inhibiting factors.

Factors that come from the students are the moral encouragement or enthusiasm in learning to read and write the Qur'an and facilities and infrastructure, like prayer rooms which are commonly used in religious learning or religious activities as is routinely carried out at SDN Sukodermo Purwosari Pasuruan, that is, reading short letters of Qur'an and Asmaul Husnah every morning before starting lessons and istighozah every Legi Friday.
