%X The purpose of study is to examine the relationship between academic achievements, reading performances and motor skills of secondary school students. A total of 100 students (male=45, female=55) attended the study. 28-item reading comprehension test consisting of informative and storytelling text was used to determine the level of reading comprehension of the students in the study. The reading speed of the participants is determined by calculating the total number of words read in one minute of a text taken from the 5th grade Turkish textbook. Academic achievements were determined according to the success scores at the end of the semester. Alternate hand wall toss test was used to determine hand-eye coordination, hexagon agility test was used to determine agility levels, and Nelson hand reaction test was used to determine reaction times. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used as the normality test in the statistical analysis of the data obtained from the research, and the Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the relationship level. Hexagon agility test values were determined negatively weak correlated with reading comprehension, reading speed and academic achievement values. (r: -0.220, -0.217, -0.299, p <0.05, respectively). A negatively weak correlation was determined between the reading speed, academic achievement values and reaction time values (r: -0.262; -0.299, p <0.05, respectively). There was no correlation between participants' coordination scores and reading comprehensions, reading speeds, academic achievements (p> 0.05). Findings from the research show that the increase in the level of agility increase weak grade the levels of reading comprehension, reading speed and academic achievement of the students. With the reduction of the reaction time, result of the reading speed and the academic achievement rise at low level are infere
