The publishing of <Chinese Curriculum Standards of Compulsory Education>(the 2011 edition) provides new ideas and guidance to Chinese teaching in the phrase of compulsory education. Under the certain standards, not only the amount of extracurricular reading has been set specifically, but the importance has been attached to cultivate students’ interest in reading, encourage them to read more and varied books as well as improve their reading taste. Students should be encouraged to read more and great books instead of doing exercises again and again. As a process of getting information from the written materials, reading has been incentivized, sustained and guided by the reading motivation which can encourage students to read, exert some influence on reading quality and is significant to the whole reading process.In order to better research on the extracurricular reading motivation, the author observed some phenomenon and did some relevant questionnaire survey, thus getting the conclusion that extracurricular reading motivation for junior high school students became declined as they were getting older. The reading motivation has been influenced by the pressure on senior high school entrance examination, the students’ physical and psychological developments, the surroundings as well as their teachers.
