Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kaedah kuantitatif berbentuk korelasi. Pengkaji menjalankan dua set ujian iaitu tatabahasa Arab dan kemahiran membaca sebagai alat penyelidikan. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif menggunakan Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). Analisis korelasi dijalankan bagi melihat adakah terdapat hubungan signifikan diantara kedua pemboleh ubah tersebut. Dapatan kajian mendapati bahawa terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara penguasaan tatabahasa Arab dan kemahiran membaca.
