The aim of this study is to shed light on the educators´ insight and knowledge about the effects on children`s language development in a selection of Swedish preschools. The reason is that reading is done in different ways depending on what kind of preschool you visit. In this sense the study seeks to give an overview on differences and similarities among the selected Swedish preschools. The method that has been used in this study is a survey which has been sent out to the preschools in the chosen region. The theoretical starting point is the socio-cultural perspective and, in this sense, Vygotskijs thoughts about mind and language is highlighted. The results show that preschool teachers have insight and knowledge about the effects on children´s language development and that the environment is an important part of the reading procedure. All the preschool teachers pointed out the need of more pedagogical resources to make the reading as adapted to learning as possible based on the individual needs and conditions of all children.
