Reading and writing are the most important components of the students' social and academic life. At elementary school, the students have been expected to improve positive attidute toward reading and writing. The purpose of this research is to analyze attitude of the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth grade students toward reading and writing. In this research, the students' attitudes toward reading and writing were compared in terms of sex and grade. Relation between reading and writing was also discussed. For this aim, "reading attitude scale" and "writing attidute scale" were applied to 534 elementary school students. Consequently, it was found while girls developed more positive attitude towards recreational reading than boys, there was no statistically significance difference in attitudes toward academic reading and writing. At grade level, it was identified that attitude level of the second and third grade students towards reading was higher than the others. It was also found that attitude level of the elementary students (2, 3 and 4. grade) toward writing was higher than attitude level of the secondary school sutdents ( 5 and 6 grade). It was seen that there has been a statistically significant correlation between reading attittude and writing attitude.
