In this context, the research method was determined to be correlational research. The participants of the study consisted of 252 4th grade students and 252 parents. The data collection tools of the study are “Reading habit scale” and “Scale of family competence in creating reading culture”. According to the normality test results, the data were analyzed with parametric tests, and the SPSS 25.0 tool was used in the analysis process. In line with the analysis, it was seen that there was a significant positive relationship between children’s reading habits and family competence in creating a reading culture. In addition, it was concluded that the family’s modeling and participation in reading are more effective in children’s acquisition of reading habits than only having positive attitudes and beliefs toward reading.}, number={4}, publisher={Hacettepe Üniversitesi}
