The data collection is documentation of students’ score in portfolio writing and the questionnaire’s score of reading habits.  The instruments of research are the report mark of students’ writing ability and the questionnaire.  The finding showed that the value of “r” is 0.41.

A grade of r (0.41) ≥ of r-table (0.317) proves that Ha is accepted, so there is a significant relationship between students' reading habits and writing skill between Informatics Engineering study program learners at UNISLA in the academic year 2021/2022. Finally, researchers suggested to English teachers should get students interested in reading books by providing facilities and motivation to students. If the student has a high reading habit, the student will write easily in English.
