reading motivation, reading comprehension, subject-embedded developmentAbstract
Although the literature lists several, well-established international interventions and best practices to strengthen reading motivation, hardly any such teaching aids are available in Hungarian. The first part of the study reviewes the theoretical background of reading motivation. Relying on the international literature, the second part proposes the following seven principles which can easily be incorporated into classroom practice: (1) setting goals; (2) gaining experience and activating previous knowledge; (3) using interesting texts; (4) supporting autonomy; (5) supporting a sense of competence and positive self-concept; (6) supporting social motives and collaboration; (7) using appropriate assessment procedures. Practical tips are also included to foster successful implementation. These principles may be incorporated into any school subject which requires students to process written texts.
