Reading is an important tool in everyone’s access to broad knowledge, in the development of thought and sensitivity, in the development of social relations with society. One of the most important conditions of being contemporary is the reading habit. Being a society of contemporary, creative, constructive and free-thought, productive, critical-looking individuals is possible with individuals vaccinated with the read habit. One of the most important qualities to be taught or obtained to every person in the educational process is to gain an effective reading habit. It is important that a person has gained a reading habit to understand and perceive himself, his surroundings and the world. Teacher candidates are seen as an important audience in terms of the development of the reading habits. The teachers who develop their read habits will also give their students the read habits.  The aim of this study is to identify the read habits of teachers candidates who will be the future teachers of Social Information. To identify this, it will be used the “Teacher Advocates’ Attitude Measurement to the Book Reading Habit” developed by Susar Red (2012). The research was done with a scan model, one of the quantum research patterns. Teacher candidates’ reading habits have been studied according to gender, class level, monthly family income, school average and monthly reading books. The sample first, second, third and fourth classes of social information consists of 229 teachers candidates and the sample type has been selected as an appropriate sample. Social information has found significant differences in the benefit of the girls students in all dimensions of the scale depending on the gender of the teacher candidates.Social information has found a significant difference in the class level between the attitudes of the teacher candidates on the development of the book reading habit. The attitudes regarding the development of the reading habits have found significant differences in the interests of first-class students between the students of 1st and 3rd and 4th classes. According to the revenue of the teacher candidates, a significant difference in all dimensions has been shown to be a significant difference in the benefit of those with the lowest income. According to the number of books read each month, there was a significant difference in the benefit of the reader in all sizes.
