Abstract:
Motivation is one of the most crucial elements that might alter a reader's capacity to comprehend
what they read. Literacy is based on a solid foundation provided by the student's home environment,
which also plays a significant role in the development of the student's motivation, self-efficacy, and
reading abilities. With that said, this study was proposed to assist master teachers in suggesting
policies and programs. An evaluation of reading motivation was conducted using a 4-point Likert
scale questionnaire. Home literacy influence was scored on a 4-point Likert scale in order to gauge
reading engagement, home modeling, library, and bookshop interests. The pupils' information
literacy was evaluated using a 12-item, Adebayo-created Likert scale questionnaire. By using
multiple regression, the findings showed that the level of reading motivation and information literacy
skills had a significant relationship. However, there is no significant relationship between home
literacy influence and information literacy skills. Finally, the Project D.I.S.C.E.R.N. (Developing
Interest, Skills, Competency, and Evaluating Reading Needs) program was also implemented for
technical assistance for master teachers and to develop interest, skills, and competency, as well as
evaluate reading needs.
