The Reading Motivation Index (RMI) evaluates key intrinsic and extrinsic motivation factors that influence reading behaviors, helping educators better support students. It builds on work conducted by the National Reading Research Center to measure reading motivation factors and make individualized recommendations.
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.
Benefits
RMI doesn't just measure motivation. It guides you in motivating your readers more effectively.
- Identify opportunities to increase reading frequency and stamina
