Abstract

The purpose of the research was to determine how the reading and library use habits were approached in 2004 primary school program, of which the implementation took place in the 2005– 2006 school year. The empirical study was made by means of a survey of class teachers who worked in 5 state and 2 private elementary schools, all being located in the municipality of Ankara. In this context, data out of 118 questionnaires were collected from the teachers. Thus the teachers’ views on primary school program in terms of reading and library use habits could be analyzed. The teachers shared overwhelmingly the opinion that the program did not handle the reading and library use habits properly and by means of a systematic approach.
