Spada, Shannon2016-05-172016-05-172016-05http://hdl.handle.net/11603/2852The 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.24 p.en-USCollection may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
