The Survey of Reading Attitudes was administered to a sample comprised of 68 intermediate‐grade students from one elementary school in a large city school system for purposes of determining the reliability of the eight attitudinal dimensions which it measures. The test‐retest interval was seven days. The following reliability estimates were obtained for the eight dimensions of reading attitude included in the Survey: Expressed Reading Difficulty . r tt =.94; Reading as Direct Reinforcement , r tt =.90; Reading as Enjoyment . r tt =.95; Alternative Learning Modes . r tt = 82; Reading Anxiety . r tt =.84; Reading Group , r tt =.91; Silent vs. Oral Reading , r tt =90; and Comics , r tt =.89.
