It indicated a positive correlation between variable X (vocabulary mastery) and variable Y (reading comprehension). To know the significance of variable X to variable Y, the coefficient value (rxy) was compared with table of significance (rtable). Based on the degree of freedom of the number of sample (36), the value of degree of significance 5% is 0.320 and the value of degree of significance 1% is 0.413. It was shown that the coefficient value (rxy) was higher than the table of significance (rtable). Therefore, it proved that there was significant positive correlation between vocabulary mastery and reading comprehension.
