                            <p>This study aimed to identify and examine the reading interests and preferences of adolescent lower secondary school students. The study group of this research consisted of 1003 students studying in the 7th and 8th grades in 2021-2022 academic year. In this study, scanning model was used as a method. A questionnaire prepared by the researcher was used as a data collection tool. Research data were analyzed using the SPSS program and frequency and percentage calculations among descriptive statistical methods. In this research, it was determined that female students read books at a higher level and more regularly than male students, students were aware of the benefits of reading books, and it was found out that &quot;novel, short story, and biography&quot; were mostly read as genres, and &quot;adventure, fantasy and science fiction&quot; were mostly read as subjects. It was determined that the students were mostly affected by the qualities of book characters characterized by struggling with difficulties and being strong, brave, intelligent, determined, helpful, good-hearted, adventurous, and fun. Author and book preferences were determined on the basis of names and works of the ten most-read authors.</p></trans-abstract>

Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında 7 ve 8. sınıf düzeyinde öğrenim görmekte olan 1003 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın yöntemi tarama modelidir. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan anket kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri SPSS programı ve betimsel istatistik yöntemlerinden frekans ve yüzde hesaplamaları ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre daha yüksek düzeyde ve düzenli olarak kitap okudukları, öğrencilerin kitap okumanın sağlayacağı faydalara ilişkin farkındalığa sahip oldukları belirlenmiştir. “Roman, öykü ve biyografi” en çok okunan türler, “macera, fantastik ve bilim kurgu” en çok okunan konular olarak tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin kitap kahramanlarının “zorluklarla mücadele eden güçlü, cesur, zeki, azimli, yardımsever, iyi kalpli, maceracı, eğlenceli” olma özelliklerinden daha çok etkilendikleri, en çok okunan on yazarın isimleri ve eserleri üzerinden yazar ve kitap tercihleri saptanmıştır.</p></abstract>
