We may assume that reading is influenced by the difference in interest in text content as well as lexical ability ( Read, 2000 ) and grammatical ability ( Richards and Schmidt, 2002 ). However, conclusive research has not been done on the contribution of interest in text content on reading. In this study, data were divided into two groups based on test scores. We then examined how the contribution of lexical ability, grammatical ability, and interest in text content to understand an outline of a paragraph varies in accordance with the level of scores. Main result showed that lexical or grammatical ability significantly contributed in the lower score group with no correlation to the difference in interest in text content. The paper concludes by arguing that the influence of the difference in interest in text content on reading varies in accordance with linguistic difficulty of the text.
