Research Opportunity on KS2 Children’s Reading Motivation

Study seeks to understand reading engagement among primary school pupils

A new research project is inviting participation from Key Stage 2 (KS2) children to explore their motivation and engagement with reading. The study aims to gather insights directly from children about their experiences and attitudes towards reading, with the goal of informing strategies that could support a lifelong interest in reading.

Focus of the research

The project is designed to give children a voice in understanding how they relate to reading activities. By capturing their lived experiences, the research hopes to identify factors that encourage or hinder their enthusiasm for reading.

Potential benefits

• Improved understanding of children’s reading motivations
• Development of more effective reading engagement strategies in schools
• Support for fostering a lifelong love of reading among young learners

Details on how schools or parents can get involved in the research have not been specified. This initiative reflects ongoing efforts to enhance literacy education by considering the perspectives of children themselves.
