This community service program aimed to improve teachers' pedagogical knowledge and instructional skills in applying the SQ3R (Survey, Question, Read, Recite, Review) reading technique among teachers of SMK Muhammadiyah 4 Kalisat Jember, Indonesia. The program was implemented using a participatory approach involving training workshops, mentoring, classroom simulations, and guided field practice. Program effectiveness was evaluated through pre-test and post-test questionnaires, classroom observations, and reflective feedback from participants. The results indicated a significant improvement in teachers' understanding and ability to implement the SQ3R technique, as reflected by increased instructional competence and more structured reading instruction in the classroom. In addition, students showed improved reading comprehension and engagement following the application of the SQ3R method. The findings demonstrate that structured, participatory community-based interventions are effective in strengthening teacher capacity and supporting sustainable literacy improvement in vocational secondary education.
