This research aimed to analyze the correlation between pre-classroom reading activity and students' curiosity to science. 31 participants were selected randomly from one of the junior high schools in Cimahi. Spearman's correlation was chosen since the data from two variables were not normally distributed. The result shows that there was a weak correlation between reading before learning and students' curiosity in the classroom and it was not significant. Several factors influence this result, one of them was students' reluctant in daily reading to science content. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
