Ontario: People for Education, May 2011.
"Results from the data analysis showed that:• the presence of trained library staff is associated with a higher proportion of grade 6 students attaining level 3 (the provincial standard) on reading tests;• schools without professional library staffing tend to have lower achievement on the grade 3 reading tests (both in terms of average achievement and attaining level 3); and• the presence of teacher-librarians is associated with more positive attitudes towards reading in both grade 3 and grade 6 students."
