Their studies recommend readers to utilize strategies in reading and to have motivation in learning reading to achieve better comprehension. The present study aims at examining the correlation between reading strategies and reading comprehension, correlation between reading motivation and reading comprehension, correlation between combinations of reading strategies and reading motivation toward reading comprehension. The study used quantitative design, particularly correlational. 46 third semester students at the academic year 2014/2015 were taken as the sample of the study. The data were taken from reading strategies and reading motivation questionnaires and reading achievement test. The finding indicates the significant simultaneous correlation between reading strategies and reading motivation toward reading comprehension of the third semester students.
