Abstract


Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada hubungan antara penguasaan kosakata dan kemampuan membaca siswa. Populasi dalam studi ini adalah kelas dua MIA 3 siswa SMAN 1 Sidomulyo. Ada 30 siswa sebagai sampel. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah tes kosakata dan tes membaca. Hasil perhitungan SPSS menunjukkan persentase rata-rata kemampuan membaca adalah 63,4% dan persentase rata-rata penguasaan kosakata adalah 60%, dan hasil perhitungan SPSS untuk korelasinya adalah 0,989. Koefisien korelasi lebih tinggi bahwa nilai kritis tabel (0,989> 0,32). Analisis statistik menunjukkan korelasi antara penguasaan kosakata siswa dan membaca adalah signifikan (p <0,01; p = 0,000). Jadi, hipotesis nol (H0) ditolak dan hipotesis alternatif (H1) diterima. Ini berarti ada korelasi antara penguasaan kosakata dan pemahaman membaca siswa.
