Abstract: It is necessary to read and examine the memories of Halide Edib Adıvar, who has an important place not only in our political and social lives but also in our education lives, by understanding the educational approaches of the period to light on our present and future.From this point of view, in the book "Memoirs of Halide Edib" published in London in 1926 by Halide Edib Adıvar, who wrote many books in Millî Edebiyat (1911)(1912)(1913)(1914)(1915)(1916)(1917)(1918)(1919)(1920)(1921)(1922)(1923) and Republic Period (1923 and later) will be assessed using a descriptive screening method based on a review of the ideas, opinions and experiences of reading education.Halide Edib Adıvar (1882-1964) describes her life from childhood to 1918 in her book Memoirs of Halide Edib.The book, which was first published in 1963 under the name of Mor Salkımlı Ev, one of the most well known of the modern Turkish Literature, is not a direct translation of the English book, with the same essence as the author herself later stated.For this reason, The Memoirs of Halide Edib (1926) and Mor Salkımlı Ev (1963) will be examined in the study in consideration of the otherness of writing in Turkish and English, and the fact that the author's memories were first written in English.The interest of reading, the writers and books on the adult world that surrounds the environment, ceremonies, the books she has met through the school and her teachers, the methods they have used in teaching foreign language are among the topics to be covered in the study. Structured Abstract:Being literate at the first stage of the reading process due to changing and developing life conditions today is not enough for the generations to be raised.The important thing is to gain reading habit and to make reading functional.It is accepted by all developed countries to educate functional readers who understand what they read, and who can use what they understand in various ways in order to improve the environment they live in, and to arrange reading-writing education accordingly (Akyol, 2001: 13).Raising individuals who can transform their reading skills into reading culture and increasing their numbers will bring the internalization of this culture socially.In the process of acquiring reading culture for children and youth, it is also important to reveal and know the part of the lives of intellectuals who are educated in our country, which is in the "reading" area.From this point of view, in the memories of Halide Edip, who is a great representative of the Republican enlightenment and Turkish literature, the data about reading culture were identified and evaluated in the study.
