All the eleventh grade students of SMA Negeri 3 Palembang were selected as the sample. Reading test was done to measure students‟ reading achievement. By using multiple choices questions was scored in terms of reading. Furthermore, Foreign Language Reading Anxiety Scale (FLRAS) questionnaire developed by Saito, Horwitz and Garza (1999) was used to measure reading anxiety containing 20 items. Pearson Product-Moment was used to find out the correlation between variables. The result showed that there was a significant correlation between students‟ reading anxiety and their reading comprehension achievement with r= .0.242.
