In this study, "Primary School Readiness Scale" and "Adaptation to School Scale" were used for data collection. In data analysis, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and stepwise regression analysis were used. As a result of the study; a high level, negative and significant relationship was found between school readiness and adaptation problems of primary school students. It was determined that primary school students' readiness concerning affective skills (54.4%), psychomotor skills (4.4%) and cognitive skills (0.5%) accounted for 59.3% of the variance in school adaptation problems of primary school students. It was concluded that students' readiness for self-care skills did not contribute significantly to the variance in school adaptation problems.
