In this paper didactic links between reading and writing are analysed. Based on the research of literature the model of links between reading and writing was created. The didactic links of reading and writing were determined after the secondary analysis of the national studies on reading and writing achievements conducted in Lithuania. The didactic links between reading and writing were revealed with the help of two–dimensional tables and their statistical significance was assessed using chi–square criterion, as well as the correlation (contingency) coefficient, which was based on this criterion.
