READING MOTIVATION AND READING STRATEGIES IN THE PRIMARY SCHOOL CLASSROOM

Tina Šabec

Abstract


This study discusses reading motivation and reading strategies in the primary school classroom. Several elements that enable students’ success in reading comprehension such as conceptual orientation, real-world instruction, autonomy support, collaborative learning, praise and rewards, interesting texts, strategy instruction, evaluation, teacher involvement and cohesion are explained. To promote reading motivation elements of SMILE (S = sharing; M = me; I = importance; L = liking; E = engagement) are illustrated. To sum up, International Children Digital library is presented as another interesting source of reading encouragement.
