The instruments were Morphological Awareness test and Reading Comprehension test. The result of calculation showed that coefficient correlation between students? morphological awareness and their reading comprehension was 0.729 at significant level of 0.01. The coefficient correlation is higher than the critical value of r table (0.729{\ensuremath{>}}0.449). Further, simple regression was done to analyze how far the contribution of morphological awareness to students? reading comprehension.
