The latent variable correlation results for the significance of reading habits and reading comprehension in students show the correlation value (0,989) was higher than r-table (0,172). This means that the significant value of correlation was included in the very high category, and the results of the latent variable correlation on the significance of students' reading motivation and reading comprehension show that the correlation value (1,000) was higher than the r-table (0,172). This means that the significant value of correlation was included in the very high category. The correlation coefficient was found to be significant. It also implies there was a statistically significant correlation among their reading habits, reading motivation, and reading comprehension. The null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, as determined by the writer. In conclusion, this result is explained by the fact that there was a significant relationship among reading habits, reading motivation, and reading comprehension.
