Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation between
students’ reading ability and their intrinsic motivation to read. The study participants included a
group of 21 second graders and used data from both the Fountas and Pinnell Running Records
levels as well as the Reading Attitude Survey. There was not found to be a strong connection
between the two variables, but more information was found to help the researcher understand
what helps keep students motivated to read.
