Summary/Abstract: The teacher plays a key role as a mediator in the school’s literary commu-nication between the literary text and the students. The success of Polish didactics, as Bożena Chrząstowska proved, depends on the quality of this mediation. The analyses con-tained in the article direct attention to the attitudes of Polish language teachers related to their didactic work, and especially to the relationship between the student and the teacher built on the joint reading of a literary text. The empirical material used analyzes the difficulties that teachers encounter in working with students and the satisfaction they derive from their profession. The article is based on the analysis of the results of a survey conducted among 104 teachers of the Polish language of the third grade of lower secondary schools from all over Poland as a fragment of the last edition of the national youth readership survey.
