Sumario:This study aimed to identify reading motivation and homework strategies and habits of a group of students from the 2nd to the 5th grade of Elementary School from two cities of São Paulo e Bahia. It also explored the relation between the motivation and habits/strategies constructs and the differences in each construct throughout the school grades. The 545 participants, aged 6 to 17 years, completed an identification questionnaire and two Likert scales. Autonomous extrinsic motivation and homework strategies which promote learning predominated. Correlations between the target constructs ranged from zero to moderate. Motivational quality and homework strategies differed significantly along the school years, especially for students from São Paulo.
