This study aims to identify the application of entertainment learning elements through teaching and learning Reading Skills in Students Minimum Achievement Level (TPM) at Segamat Baru National School, Segamat. The main problem identified is that teachers have difficulty in incorporating entertainment elements in the classroom due to challenges such as lack of professional training, no good technological facilities and so on. This study uses a qualitative approach through observations and interviews involving three Level 2 Malay teachers and three Year 5 TPM students selected by sampling methods. The findings show that students are able to learn calmly without any pressure and are more enthusiastic when teachers incorporate entertainment elements such as acting, singing and humor (humor) in the classroom. However, teachers are seen as facing some challenges to incorporate this element in the teaching and learning sessions especially reading skills. The implications of this study provide guidance for Malay teachers to continue to consistently learn pedagogical knowledge to provide students with a more dynamic, engaging and effective learning experience
