According to the analysis results, it was determined that the scale consisted of 26 items and 1 subscale. This subscale was named as the reading attitude. Then, the internal consistency of the assessment instrument was calculated using Cronbach Alpha coefficient and it was found that the results obtained from the data set had considerably high reliability.
