Abstract

A well-known saying is “Success is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.” This adage underscores the contribution of motivation and effort in achieving positive outcomes. Common sense suggests that motivation to read potentially plays an important role in reading development. However, the role of motivation in early literacy development has been much less investigated than other variables.
