Abstract Details

2009, Masters in Education, Marietta College, Education.
In every classroom there are some students who seem unmotivated to read. Frontier Middle School, a small rural school in southeast Ohio, is no exception. Past research has addressed factors that motivate early readers and suggests that as students become older their desire to read decreases. The researcher employed a qualitative approach utilizing an adaptation of the reading survey portion of the Motivation to Read Profile to determine what factors motivate students to read. In addition, the researcher used a follow-up interview using open ended questions to acquire more in-depth information in regards to the students' feelings on specific motivational factors in the reading classroom.
