Matejovsky has won four caps and scored in the 3-0 victory over Germany in October to help the Czechs qualify for Euro 2008.
He made his debut for the Czech national team in a friendly against Belgium in February.
The midfielder is considered to be one of the best players in the Czech league.
Reading boss Steve Coppell described Matejovsky as the "right kind of fit" for the Royals.
"He's bright, bubbly, intelligent and we hope he can be a good acquisition.
"He's flexible, he's a good player. He can play centrally or wide, he's a bubbly character and can slot in a number of places."
