The sample consisted of 15 students; 8 students were in the control group and 7 students were in the treatment group. The study took place over four weeks and the study utilized the pre-measure/postmeasure quasi-experimental design. The pre- and post-measures included the Motivations for Reading Questionnaire (MRQ) and the number of Steps earned at home (one Step being 15 minutes of reading). It was determined that the read alouds do not impact students’ motivation to read and the null hypothesis was retained.31 p.en-USCollection may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
