Reading motivation in dyslexia

What sustains their motivation? A mixed-methods study of what supports or undermines reading-literacy motivation in children with dyslexia.

Children with dyslexia often lose motivation to read long before they lose the ability to improve. This mixed-methods study asks what sustains their reading-literacy motivation and what undermines it, drawing on the lab’s long record of motivation research in games and gamification. Lennart leads it as principal investigator with SSHRC funding.
