Abstract

Knowing about each student's reading motivation is important to school librarians in producing life-long readers in their students. This research asks the questions, are there any significant differences of reading motivation between grade level, gender, and birth order? and what kinds of reading motivation can encourage students to read books? The questionnaire method composed of 25 items was used for 278 students. The sample consisted of 142 students in 2nd, 136 in 5th grade, 140 boys and 138 girls, and 119 first born and 159 other birth order students. Finding shows that significant differences were observed for the reading motivation in 2nd and 5th grade, no significant differences between boys and girls, and no significant differences between birth order students were observed. It concludes with recommendations of reading motivation to each student or group.
