Abstract

As we consider the technical aspects of the Science of Reading (SOR), which include advancing the skills of reading within phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, a prerequisite or simultaneous efforts should be placed towards building self-motivated readers. Developing motivated readers actually intersects with many of the SOR skills as it involves the practice of building oral reading skills, structured read alouds, vocabulary development, fluency building and more (Ariyanti & Qomar, 2016; Nevo et al., 2020; Toste et al, 2020). Motivating readers is an interconnected process which begins as early as infancy and beyond. Each section of this brief provides strategies and practices which align with the SOR for motivating independent readers.
