When the related literature is view

When the related literature is viewed, it can be seen that there are some studies both on reading
attitudes (Keleş, 2006; Topçu, 2007; Balcı, 2009; Ünal, 2010) and writing dispositions (Bağcı,
2007; Arıcı & Ungan, 2008; İşeri, 2010; Ünal, 2010) of students in the Turkish Education System.
However, the number of the studies on the correlation between reading attitudes and writing
dispositions of students is very few and they all focused on the correlation between reading and
writing skills, not on their reading attitudes and writing dispositions. Because of this, further studies
on this very issue are needed to be carried out in order to create a more effective curriculum
regarding reading and writing in an integrated manner at elementary school. Hence, the purpose of
this research can be stated to investigate the correlation between elementary students’ reading
attitudes and their writing dispositions. In order to establish a correlation between reading attitudes
and writing dispositions, the following questions were posed in the study:
(1) Is there a significant correlation between students’ reading attitudes and writing
dispositions?
(2) What is the predictive level of students’ reading attitudes for their writing dispositions?
