Abstract

Reading is one of the fundamental skills in gaining knowledge. Based on PISA data for 2018, the reading ability of students in Indonesia was in the bottom five positions. Several factors can determine success in reading comprehension, including reading habits. The research objective was to determine the correlation between reading habits and reading comprehension skills in students. The research method used was descriptive quantitative and correlation studies involving 30 respondents from class X of SMAN 1 Klapanunggal academic year 2019/2020. The data were obtained from the results of questionnaires about reading habits and reading comprehension tests which were processed using regression analysis and correlation analysis. The research findings indicate a positive and significant correlation between reading habits and reading comprehension. Thus, the better the reading habits of the students, the better the reading comprehension skills of the students.
