Abstract | Two purposes guided delegates' discussions at a 1976 international symposium: to analyze and discuss various problems associated with motivating people both to learn to read and to continue reading and to recommend programs of action and research in reading motivation. This report is a condensation of that meeting in which the participants expressed opinions and shared experiences, with no intention of producing a formal position statement of their governments or of UNESCO. The contents consist of four assumptions regarding reading motivation; an exploration of reasons for reading, focusing on understanding human needs, the cultural and social context, and economic and political forces; practical problems related to education; and 18 recommendations directed to UNESCO and to all international, regional, national, and local organizations concerned with education and literacy. Appendixes contain a summary of ways people are motivated to read, case studies (from Iran, Jamaica, and Malaysia), statements read at the symposium, a list of people consulted in planning the symposium, and bibliographies compiled by the International Reading Association and the Academy for Educational Development.
