The reliability and stability of Elementary Reading Attitude Survey (ERAS) scores were examined for the recreational and academic subscales and for the total scale. The responses of 718 students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades were included in the analyses. A seven-day interval between testings was used. The recreational and academic subscale scores and the total scale scores of the ERAS were analyzed by gender, ethnicity, and grade level. The alpha coefficients suggested adequate internal consistency across gender, ethnicity, and grade level, with all coefficients exceeding .75. The stability coefficients associated with gender and ethnicity were below .70 level, ranging from .48 to .67. Except for grade six students, the stability of the ERAS scores over the seven-day interval tended to be low. (Contains 1 note.)
