This study sets out to investigate how students' reading skills affect students' academic writing.

Meanwhile, the other result showed that the reading habit had a profound effect on college students' academic writing skill shown by the p-value of T-test = 0.000 and F score = 352,524 at the significant 0,000 ≤ 0,05. In other words, reading habit has a significant influence on college students' academic writing skill.
