<![CDATA[This study aimed to determine the effect of star sticker rewards on the reading learning motivation of third-grade students at SD IT Harapan Islami Talun Kenas. The study was motivated by the low level of students' reading motivation, as indicated by their lack of interest, attention, and active participation during reading lessons. This research employed a quantitative approach using a correlational design. The participants consisted of all 29 third-grade students of SD IT Harapan Islami Talun Kenas, who were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data were analyzed using the Product Moment correlation test and the t-test. The findings revealed that the students' reading learning motivation was in the high category. Furthermore, there was a positive, very strong, and significant relationship between the use of star sticker rewards and students' reading learning motivation. This was indicated by the calculated t value of 10.583, which was higher than the t table value of 2.052, a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, and a regression coefficient of 0.946. Therefore, the alternative hypothesis (H₁) was accepted, while the null hypothesis (H₀) was rejected. It can be concluded that the better the implementation of star sticker rewards, the higher the reading learning motivation of third-grade students at SD IT Harapan Islami Talun Kenas. ]]>
