The unreadiness of the academic community in facing Covid 19 pandemic affects the process of teaching and learning in some ways. In this current research, the researcher wanted to explore the reading motivation and its impact on the reading proficiency of engineering students in pandemic Covid 19. The data regarding the Reading Motivation were collected by using the Adult Motivation for Reading Scale by Schutte and Malouff. The data regarding reading proficiency were collected through reading tests. The data were analyzed by using Pearson Product Moment Coefficient Correlation, Linear Regression, and Compare Means. The result showed that the correlation between Reading Motivation and Reading Proficiency of the students was 0.606; the effect was 0.368 and the contribution was 36.8%. The reading motivation of the students affected the reading proficiency of the students significantly. There were significant mean differences in reading motivation on the basis of gender, residence, parents’ occupation, and age.
