The aim of this research is to determine the correlation of critical reading skills with critical thinking skills on 28 EFL students. The technique used to analyze the data is the correlation analysis using r Product Moment formula. The results showed a positive correlation between critical reading skills and critical thinking skills. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a correlation between critical reading strategy with critical thinking skills. To make this research better, the researcher suggests the next researcher to conduct such research by using experimental research which provides a strategy to improve students’ critical thinking.
