"In Dr. Youmans' book, she demonstrates how teachers' attitudes affect reading for students in primary schools. Teachers who have a love for reading are able to demonstrate the value of reading as a source of information, enjoyment, and recreation. ... this book by her is packed with a wealth of knowledge and expert information that will assist educators in their research and instructional journey by demonstrating the significance of all teachers having positive attitudes when teaching reading."
