Cette étude s’est penchée sur les expériences de lecture de livres électroniques de huit élèves de première année. Huit élèves ont reçu 10 séances de 25 minutes avec les logiciels sur une période de 15 semaines. Des données qualitatives ont été recueillies auprès des élèves, des enseignants et des parents par l’entremise de questionnaires, d’entrevues, d’observations et de notes. Les résultats suggèrent que les livres électroniques sont prometteurs pour stimuler la motivation des lecteurs débutants.  \n􀀃􀀅􀀆􀀉􀀜􀀇􀀃􀀂􀀉 􀀊􀀔􀀑􀀛 $)􀀝\\#􀀞  \n􀀈!'%\"􀀖(􀀕'􀀝\"!  \nLearning to read proficiently in the primary grades is one of the cornerstones of academic achievement and the foundation for children’s later success in school (Strommen & Mates, 2004; Valleley & Shriver, 2003) . Children who successfully learn to read in the early primary years of school are well prepared to read for learning and for pleasure in the years to come. Thus, primary educators have the profound challenge of making reading a reality for all children.  \nMuch of the research on young children's reading has focused on cognitive aspects such as word recognition and comprehension skills (Guthrie & Wigfield, 2000) . Yet, because reading is such an effortful activity, motivation is a factor in whether children choose to devote their energy to such a task (Deci & Ryan, 1985) . Motivation to read is both the essential element for actively engaging young children in the reading process and a strong predictor of later reading skills (Deci & Ryan, 1985), and goes beyond time spent reading. Rather, it is reflected in how children think about themselves as readers and how they think about the act of reading and associated language-based activities (Deci & Ryan, 1985) . Increasing reading competence is motivating for students, and increasing motivation leads to more engaged reading time (Guthrie & Wigfield, 2000). For students who do not master reading skills early in their school years, reading may become a painful experience (Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997) . As a result, they may decline opportunities for practice, putting themselves even further behind successful, motivated readers who may be independently reading as much as three times the amount of text as poor, unmotivated readers (Wigfield & Guthrie, 1997) .  \nMotivation to read is one of the essential elements for actively engaging children in the reading process and is an important component for all students to be successful in school (Morgan & Sideridis, 2006; Strommen & Mates, 2004). Research shows that promoting students' motivation to read can enhance the reading competency of readers (Morgan & Sideridis, 2006; Sideridis & Scanlon, 2006; Strommen & Mates, 2004) .
