If the r value was higher than rtable, it means that Ha (Alternative Hypothesis) was accepted and Ho (Null Hypothesis) was rejected. In other words, there was a correlation between students’ reading and writing achievement. In addition, the result of this correlation coefficient was 0.476 which meant that the positive correlation occurred between two variables with the strength of correlation in moderate level because the rvalue resided between 0.400 – 0.600.
