Lust till att läsa : Att väcka barns läsmotivation i skolan

Sammanfattning: This paper presents how the students’ motivation for reading pleasure is caught in school. It is also about how the teachers choose which kind of reading materials they use in the education to give the students the best possible conditions for a lifelong reading pleasure. What motivates the students in the primary school to read, not just because they must, but also by their own free will? Through my work, I put previous research on reading interest, motivation and self-confidence against what pupils in grade 3 consider the education in reading give them. The pupils’ experiences about whether they can influence the content in their educational material also effects how well motivated they are to assimilate the ability in reading. My survey is based om questionnaires for pupils in grade 3 and active Swedish teachers in the same year, the reading motivation and the choice of materials were studied, but also how much access to other books they have. A great access to books favors reading enthusiasm, both at school and at home. But it takes more than books to make students motivated to enjoy reading.
