Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa ada hubungan antara kesadaran metakognitif dan pemahaman membaca siswa kelas II SMK Negeri 2 Bukittinggi. Koefisien korelasi (rxy) sebesar 0,285 yang berarti korelasi rendah. Jika dibandingkan antara rxy dan rtabel didapatkan bahwa 0,285 > 0,05 yang berarti Ha diterima dan Ho ditolak. Disimpulkan bahwa kesadaran metakognitif memiliki korelasi positif terhadap pemahaman membaca siswa.
