Abstract (2. Language): 
The students’ grammar is generally adequate but when it comes to the skills the students generally have problems. In our schools, it is believed that the most important thing that students should know is grammar but in most cases, students can not communicate in real life although they may know about the grammar so the students should practice and develop their reading skills to understand what they are reading. This study aims at determining the reading needs of the students’ at Hacettepe University English Preparatory School. In this study a questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument. Before administering the questionnaire the pilot study was done to see the possible problems which might occur. The participants of the pilot study were 173 students from Gazi University. The main administration was done to 300 students from Hacettepe University. There are 31 questions related to reading in the questionnaire and the analysis of the questionnaire was done by the help of SPSS package programme. The analysis of the data collected from the students has revealed their needs as follows; the students need to practice academic reading skills such as summarizing, taking notes, making inferences…etc. The students have difficulty in understanding owing to the lack of vocabulary knowledge. So they need to practice guessing from the context.
