Data description (abstract)
The study sought to examine the multidimensional nature of reading engagement, utilising the Reading Engagement Scale (McGeown & Conradi-Smith, 2023) which simultaneously measures children’s behavioral, cognitive, affective and social reading engagement.
This study provides the first validation of this scale, testing across three different English-speaking countries (United States, England, Singapore) with approximately 350 children (aged 8-11) in each country, to explore its reliability and suitability across different education systems and contexts. In addition, child data (sex, grade level) and a measure of reading motivation were completed by all children. A subset of children also completed standardised assessments of reading skill.
