Abstract

This research aimed to find out the contribution of: (1) higher order thinking skill to reading skill; (2) morphological awareness to reading skill; and (3) higher order thinking skill and morphological awareness simultaneously to reading skill.This study used a correlational method with a cluster random sample of 35 students of the fourth semester students a University in Surakarta.The researcher used objective tests as the instrument to collect the data. Single and Multiple Linear Regression and Correlation were used to analyze the data. The research findings show that: (1) higher order thinking skill brings 33.25% contribution to reading skill;

(2) morphological awareness brings 42.02% contribution to reading skill; and (3) higher order thinking skill and morphological awareness simultaneously bring 58.90% contribution to reading skill.
