Data were collected using two instrument; Questioner and Reading Test. The data were analyzed by using pearson product moment correlation coefficient.

The result showed that of hypothesis testing show r count amounting to 0.590> r table of 0.234 in the 5% significance level with N = 71 which means the hypothesis is proven. The correlation coefficient is 0.590 indicates that reading interest with reading comprehension ability has a positive relationship.

Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian korelasi. Populasi penelitian ini adalah 71 siswa semester 4 program studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris di IAIN Palangka Raya. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan dua instrumen; Angket dan Tes Membaca. Analisis data menggunakan koefisien korelasi product moment pearson.

Hasil pengujian hipotesis menunjukkan bahwa r hitung sebesar 0,590> r tabel 0,234 pada taraf signifikan 5% dengan N = 71 yang berarti hipotesis terbukti. Koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,590 menunjukkan bahwa preferensi topik dengan kemampuan pemahaman membaca memiliki hubungan yang positif. Artinya setiap peningkatan variabel bebas yaitu minat baca mempengaruhi peningkatan pada variabel terikat yaitu kemampuan membaca pemahaman.
