The teachers perform their work in different ways, but they mostly use the same methods in teaching to increase pupils reading motivation. An example that shows the similarities and differences between the teachers is that the teachers seek support from the school librarian, but different amount of support, so that the librarian can help them find books and shape or plan teaching in a way that promotes motivation and the desire to read.

However, the focus is not on the technical material itself but on the content that the teachers create by using the technical materials.
