Every age has its own unique phenomena forming its social life. In today's information age, this phenomenon is expressed as "producing knowledge". The secret of success in the age of information is to produce new, practical and useful information. In this regard, the human profile that is planned to be trained in the age of information is also required to have these three characteristics. As creativity is the first condition of producing new and beneficial information, reading which has an important place in acquiring information needs to be based on creativity. In this study, it was tried to determine the effect of creative reading on creative thinking. The present study employs an experimental research methodology using pre-test and post-test control group design. The sampling of the study is composed of two classes of fourth grade students attending a school affiliated to the Ministry of National Education (MoNE). Experimental and control groups consist of 19 students.

The findings can be summarized as follows: Reading studies conducted with the Turkish teaching program resulted in a significant decrease in the students' ability to think creatively and reading studies with creative reading significantly increased the students' creative thinking skills.
