Why Motivation Matters
Research confirms that reading motivation plays a critical role in reading frequency, stamina, and academic performance. When students are motivated to read, they read more — and when they read more, they do better.
The RMI not only measures what motivates students to read, it gives educators actionable insights based on individual student motivations.
Educators gain easy access to reporting and low-lift recommendations, developed by our team of former teachers and librarians, to motivate students and strengthen reading habits.
