Abstract L is not adequately developed in the world and this is a fact that is faced in every aspect of our daily lives. Bearing in mind that listening in developing such skills becomes significantly apparent. From this perspective, leading and directing the activities that will develop listening comprehension skills is only possible by determining the factors that affect them. The aim of this study is to determine the factors that predict frequency of activities developing Participants of this study carried out with 281 elementary 5 th reading texts in classroom, giving homework related with reading texts, giving free reading time to students and the frequency of
