The population of this research is the students in the first grade of SMA BUDI MULIA Jakarta. Sample is any subset of the population. In this research the sample wastaken from students in the first grade that consisted of 7 classes. The total amount of sample was 89 students. From 89 students, 20 students were defined as a sample and 69 students as the study sample. The sampling used proportional sampling techniques (ProportionateStratified Random Sampling). This study usedsurveymethod and correlationalbecause theresearchsought to investigatethe relationshipbetweenseveralindependent variables, namely the independent variables and dependent variable. The independent variable X as the students’ reading interest and the dependent variable Y is the student’s English learning achievement.The survey results reveal that there is a significant relationship between the students’ reading interest andEnglish learning achievement in reading comprehension skill at SMA Budi Mulia Jakarta. This was indicated by the correlation coefficient of 0.741 which shows a strong correlation of these two variables and the coefficient of determination of 0.548 which shows a variable student's reading interest (X) only affects reading comprehension skills (Y) of 54.8%, while 45.2% influenced by other factors.
