The theoretical part of the paper shows definitions of motivation, motivation sharing, reading described, and ways of motivating reading students. The paper describes procedures for stimulating intrinsic and extrinsic motivation and motivational readings. In the research part of the paper, the aim of the research was described and which methods and procedures were used. The aim of the research was to examine whether there are differences in reading habits and the quality of reading readiness if children are intrinsically motivated to participate in reading. 41 pupils participated in the research, and the students were divided into a control and experimental group. Three problems were set before the research. The first problem was that the students of the experimental group would be more successful in the overall success and success of the Croatian language. Another problem was that the students of the experimental group had more accurate and creative responses from the student control group, and the third problem was that the students of the experimental group after the research would read more independent and thematically diverse works. The results of the research have shown that there are no statistically significant differences in the pupils of experimental and control groups in the overall success and success of the Croatian language before and after the activity of reading the story and there is no difference in the creativity and accuracy of the response. Both groups provided semi-accurate answers, and the quality of the responses is low in creativity. The third hypothesis has been confirmed and the students have read more independent and thematically more diverse works after the reading activity.
