Therefore, The objective of this research was to analyze students' reading comprehension using report texts. This research used a descriptive research. researcher applied cluster random sampling to three classes, namely Class XI TPM 1, TPM 2, and TPM 3 at SMK N 5 Padang. There were 89 students as samples from three classes. The class selected from the three classes was XI TPM 1, which had 30 students. Data were obtained through multiple choice tests. The results showed that students' reading comprehension abilities were generally in the average category, with an average score of 51. As many as 0% of students were classified as very good, 13% good, 50% average, 20% poor, and 17% very poor.

This shows that many students have not yet developed sufficient reading skills to understand report texts effectively.
