This study has attempted to investigate the relationship among reading interests,mind wandering, and reading comprehension skill of EFL learners at upper intermediatelevel. In order to conduct this study, ۹۰ upper-intermediate level EFL learners studying at three language institutes in Karaj and Tehran were selected. There were four maininstruments in this study: the Quick Oxford Placement Test (OPT) as the homogeneity test, the Mind-Wandering Questionnaire (MWQ) by Mrazek, Phillips, Franklin, Broadway, and Schooler (۲۰۱۳), Reading Interests Scale (RIS) by Dokmen (۱۹۹۴), and a reading comprehension test. After assuring their level of proficiency, the two questionnaires were given to the learners. In the end, they took the reading comprehension test. By adhering to a correlational design, the analysis of the collected data reveals that there is a correlation between reading comprehension skill and reading interest; in other words, reading comprehension scores increase as learners’ reading interests improve. Also, there is a negative correlation between reading comprehension skill and mindwandering since reading comprehension scores increase as learners’ mind-wandering decreases.
