of normality analysis tests was 0.200 for reading habit and 0.066 for reading
comprehension. Because both of data have higher normality value than the “p”

comprehension data have a normal distribution. The linearity test showed sign is
0.874, because the value of sig (significance) > 0.05 which means that the variable
