Abstract
This study aims to determine whether there is a significant correlation between reading habits and reading comprehension in eleventh-grade students at SMAS Darul Falah Aikmel. This ex post facto study with a quantitative correlational design used two data collection instruments, namely a reading habits questionnaire consisting of 45 items and a multiple-choice reading comprehension test consisting of 20 questions based on narrative texts. The study population was all 63 eleventh-grade students, so a total sampling technique was used. Data were analyzed using Pearson Product-Moment correlation with the help of SPSS 25. The results showed a correlation coefficient (*r*) of .447 and a significance value (*p*) of .000 (< .05). The value of *r* = .447 is included in the category of moderate positive correlation. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. In conclusion, there is a significant correlation between reading habits and reading comprehension in eleventh-grade students at SMAS Darul Falah Aikmel.
