The participants of the study were 401 students studying at 1st to 4th grades. These students were from two state schools and a private school located in regions with different socio-economic levels.

The obtained data were analysed using SPSS. As a result of the data analysis, there was a statistically significant relationship between the 1st and 3rd graders' accurate and fluent reading skills and their comprehension levels.
