Teachers are role models for their students, exemplary behavior at school is total exemplification, not only with regard to normative matters but as a whole. Likewise with reading, the example set by teachers at school will continue to stick with children until they return home, until they grow up. Because children can learn from observations and experiences they go through. As one of the assumptions of social cognitive theory is, "people can learn by observing other people". This theory has developed through research by Albert Bandura, Dale Schunk, Barry Zimmerman, quoted by Jeanne Ellis Ormrod (Ormrod, 2009). Therefore, if the teacher's reading interest is high, the teacher will influence students' reading interest. Teachers who are very interested in reading will try to foster a love of reading in their students.
