ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between elementary students’ reading attitudes and their writing
dispositions and to determine to what extent students’ reading attitudes predict their writing dispositions. Four hundred
and fifteen students from six elementary schools in Nigde, Turkey participated in the study. Students were chosen
randomly. In this study, the Reading Attitudes and Writing Dispositions scales were used in order to collect data to answer
the research questions. The correlative investigation model was adopted in the research. The Pearson moment’s
correlation coefficient analysis showed that there was a positive significant correlation between students’ reading attitudes
and their writing dispositions. It was also found that students’ reading attitudes were a significant predictor of their writing
dispositions.
