Study group included 203 children who attended public preschools in Kirikkale province during 2012-2013 school year and mothers of these children. Two instruments were utilized so as to collect data in the study. First was the Parent Reading Belief Inventory (PRBI) developed by DeBaryshe and Binder (1994) to assess the reading beliefs of mothers. The other was the Control List for the Evaluation of the Print Awareness of Preschoolers(CLEPAP), which was developed by Simsek Cetin and Alisinanoglu (2013) to evaluate children’s print awareness. Results indicated no significant relationship between maternal reading beliefs and print awareness of children. It was also found that print awareness of children differed significantly only in terms of age, with no significant difference for gender or the type of school. It was seen that print awareness of 5 year-olds was higher than that of 3 and 4 year-olds. © 2015 IOJES. Tum haklari saklidir
