Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur lärare i årskurs 4-6 genomför litteraturundervisning i ämnet svenska för att främja elevers läslust och läsmotivation. Syftet fördjupas vidare i vilka metoder lärare använder när de arbetar med läsning i klassrummet, vad lärare anser kan påverka elevers läslust och läsmotivation, samt deras egen inställning till läsning och om den kan ha inverkan på hur de i sin undervisning lyckas intressera elever för läsning. För att ta reda på detta användes metoden kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer. Jag intervjuade fyra lärare som arbetar i årskurs 4-6, på två olika skolor i Sverige. Vid genomförandet hade jag en intervjuguide till min hjälp och intervjuerna spelades in. Resultatet visar att alla fyra lärare ser svårigheter med att motivera eleverna att läsa och att främja deras läslust. Högläsning är den metod de alla använder sig mycket av, för att de tycker att det kan väcka ett intresse hos eleven. Bokval, lässvårigheter och hemmet är några faktorer som de tror kan påverka elevers läslust. Gällande lärarnas egen inställning till läsning är svaren varierande, men alla tror att de kan använda sitt eget eventuella läsintresse för att i sin undervisning intressera eleven för läsning. / The purpose of this study is to examine how teachers who work in grades 4-6 organize their teaching of literature to encourage pupils’ enjoyment of reading and their motivation to read. More specifically, the study looks at what methods teachers use to teach reading; how teachers feel they can encourage pupils’ reading enjoyment and motivation to read; and teachers’ own attitude to reading and if it can have an impact on how they manage to interest pupils in reading. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four teachers in grades 4-6 at two schools in Sweden. All interviews were conducted with the same list of questions and sound recordings were made. The results show that all four teachers experience difficulties in motivating their pupils to read and in promoting reading enjoyment. They all relied to a great extent on reading aloud as a method. In their experience, pupils developed an interest in reading through reading aloud. Other factors affecting pupils’ reading enjoyment were: choice of book; reading difficulties; and their home environment. The teachers varied in their own attitudes to reading but they each thinks that they could rely on their own interest in reading to give an interest in reading to their pupils.
