The low reading interest of students in Indonesia is a problem that needs more proper resolution. UNESCO data from January 2020 categorized the country as second from the bottom regarding world literacy, signifying an extremely low reading interest among the citizens. This study aimed to develop a reading interest measurement instrument, specifically in Central Java, Indonesia. The instrument was developed using the 4D development model, which consists of four stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. The data obtained were qualitative and quantitative data from the research sample of 300 students, 100 teachers, and 5 reading experts from Sebelas Maret University. The validity test of the instrument used Correlation Product Moment and the reliability test for the instrument used the Alpha Cronbach's formula. The validity test of the instrument resulted in 33 statement items being eligible and the reliability test for the instrument obtained that the instrument is acceptable or reliable. At the instrument development test stage, respondents who assessed the reading interest measurement instrument indicated that the achievement percentage was 84%, which means it is very good or valid. Hence, no revision was needed. The results showed that the instrument was considered very good and could be used by academics in schools and universities to measure reading interest.
