How Do Learners Learn to Read?
Researchers believe that reading has two sides to it:
• One side is skills or competence in phonemic awareness, phonics, word recognition, vocabulary, and comprehension (Snow et al., 1998)
• The other is motivation or having the desire or will to read (Cambria & Guthrie, 2010; Wigfield, Guthrie, Tonks, & Perencevich, 2004)
“Skill” or “Will”
Motivation
Intrinsic Motivation: Their motivation comes from inside themselves instead of from outside sources
Extrinsic Motivation: Their motivation is not from the activity, but from what they receive.
Self-efficacy: How confident one feels about how well they can perform a task.
(Cambria & Guthrie, 2010; Wigfield, Guthrie, Tonks, & Perencevich, 2004)
“Will”

Digital Literacy
• High-stakes testing shifted Literacy instruction in the 21st century
• Reading Assessments now consist of narrative and informational text
• Informational text is found in Content Area textbooks & is more difficult to read
• Students are now required to be proficient in ELA/Reading, Math, Science and Social Studies

• One pre-reading strategies is T.H.I.E.V.E.S. Each letter in the acronym stands for a distinct part of the MATH informational text
