This study aims to describe: 1) short story reading habits as an independent variable; 2) narrative writing skills as a dependent variable; 3) the relationship between short story reading habits and narrative writing skills. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlational method. This study took place in the even semester of the 2024/2025 academic year, which was implemented at SMA Negeri Wongsorejo. The population of this study was 152 tenth-grade students of SMA Negeri Wongsorejo who submitted a questionnaire on their short story reading habits and took a narrative writing skills test. The sample was determined at 111 students based on a statistical formula and randomly selected using a technique without replacement from each population group. Data on short story reading habits were collected using a questionnaire, while data on narrative writing skills were collected using a test. Each research instrument is declared valid because it is compiled using objective and systematic procedures.
