The aim of this study was to investigate how four middle school teachers use and process the contents in read-aloud books, to stimulate the pupils interest in reading and increase reading comprehension. A qualitative approach was used to collect data, through interviews and observations. The findings show that all of the teachers work with read-aloud books regularly. The teachers state that read-aloud books have a positive effect on pupils language, vocabulary, reading comprehension, imagination and ability to reflect. The teachers have three distinctive purposes with read aloud-books, a moment of relaxation, create an interest in books and increase the pupils reading comprehension. The teachers process the contents through discussion and reflection by using "En läsande klass" or/and Aidan Chambers model for book reading. The result also show a decreasing interest in reading, which the teachers try to stimulate the pupils interest by reading and recommend good books.
