Abstract: The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between reading interest and reading literacy skills of elementary school students. This study used a correlational research method. The subjects in this study were seventy-eight fourth grade elementary school students. The sampling technique used is simple random sampling. The data collection technique used in this study was through a questionnaire consisting of 14 multiple-choice questions and a reading literacy test consisting of 6 descriptive questions. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS 26. Based on the research results, the reading interest indicators that have a weak positive correlation with reading literacy are the desire to read, reading frequency and use of time for reading. Meanwhile, the indicators of reading interest that have a significant positive correlation with reading literacy are reading motivation and attention when reading.
