Reading is one of the language skills, which is very difficult for the students to master because there are many aspects involve in it, that is determining main idea, inference, reference, finding detail information, vocabulary and generic structure. Reading is the meaningful interpretation of printed or written verbal symbols (Nuttal, 1982:13). It is said that the students are expected to have skills in English mainly reading skill. However, students still find difficulties in their reading lesson. Research by Yunita, 2004 showed that SMA students experienced serious difficulties in their reading test. Motivation is very important in learning because learning will be more effective and efficient if it is pushed by motivation. Motivation is also important in reading skill in English subject because the students’ reading comprehension might not be active if they do not have motivation to read. The objective of this research was to know whether there is significant influence between students’ motivation and their reading comprehension achievement.
