This study aims to investigate the contribution of the reading motivation and the grammar mastery to the reading comprehension of the second grade students of SMK in Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi. This research is an ex post facto, involving two independent variables and one dependent variable. The students’ reading motivation is the first independent variable (X1), grammar mastery is the second independent variable (X2). The students’ reading comprehension is the dependent variable (Y). This research study was conducted at public SMK Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi in 2013/2014 academic year. The population of this study is all the second grade students of SMK in Baubau, Southeast Sulawesi (763). The sample used is 256 students, selected using the proportional random sampling. The research instruments make use of questionnaire and tests. The data were analyzed using multiple regression statistic analysis technique and partial correlation. The result of descriptive analysis indicates that the reading motivation is in the low category (82.70), grammar mastery is in the low category (12.23), and the students’ reading comprehension is in the low category (13.32). The result of multiple regression analysis indicates that the reading motivation and grammar mastery simultaneously affect the students’ reading comprehension (F = 289.359 sig. p 0.000 <0.05). As much as 69.6% variance of reading comprehension is determined by reading motivation and grammar mastery. The result of the partial correlation indicates that the reading motivation affects reading comprehension (r = 0.737 sig. p 0.000<0.05). Grammar mastery affects the reading comprehension (r = 0.124 sig. p 0.048< 0.05).
