Özet:

The level of development of a society depends on the reading habits of the individuals who make that society. Giving students a reading habit that plays an important role in the adoption of cultural values is one of the main objectives of the Turkish lesson teaching program. Through a good mother tongue education, individuals who have gained a reading habit, advanced word treasure, full and correct understanding and narrative skills, ensure the continuity of national and universal culture. In addition, the ability to the purpose of reading, to contribute to the individual and ultimately to the society, depends on the fact that reading is done with real quality works. In this study, the most important process in the acquisition of the read habits of individuals, the factors that lead to the choice of books of high school students and the qualities of the chosen books were generally evaluated. The study used the imaging method and the survey was carried out on a total of 6092 students studying in 18 different secondary schools in the İzmir Buca district. As a result, students of 5th and 6th classes have been found to be more influenced by parents and teachers and to choose local and foreign classical books, but students of 7th and 8th classes have been influenced by their friendly environment and social environment, they have chosen works that do not match our cultural values, and they are directed to the read habit in their internet environments. It has been observed that boys read more foreign classics, while girls prefer local popular books. The result of this research is that if the choice of books does not direct the high school students rightly, our students are lacking from our cultural values, and their personality characteristics can be influenced by works that disguise.
