The aim of this study was to explore teachers’ opinions and thoughts on teaching reading strategies to pupils in upper primary school in Sweden and how teachers explain their choices regarding texts and strategies. More specifically the aim was to highlight teachers’ perceptions and experience of teaching reading strategies. In this study semi-structured interviews were conducted with four teachers in grades 4-6 during the spring term of 2020. All four teachers taught Swedish as a school subject. The results of the study showed that the interviewed teachers each explain their choices of text according to their own set of criteria. When choosing reading strategies, the teachers based their choices largely on a particular course package developed in Sweden. The outlook the teachers had on the teaching of teaching reading strategies came across as positive. They felt that the strategies that they taught their pupils helped them to develop their reading comprehension skills. This was especially true for the low-achieving readers in the class. / Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka svensklärares uppfattningar och tankar om lässtrategiundervisning i årskurs 4–6 och hur de motiverar sina val av texter, strategiprogram och lässtrategier i den undervisningen. Mer specifikt har syftet varit att synliggöra lärares uppfattningar och erfarenheter om lässtrategiundervisning. Till studien har material samlats in genom metoden semistrukturerad intervju som är en kvalitativ metod. Intervjuerna genomfördes med fyra svensklärare i årskurs 4–6 under vårterminen 2020. Resultatet visar att lärarna motiverar sina val av texter med hjälp av flera kriterier och i deras val av lässtrategier utgick de från ett strategiprogram utvecklat i Sverige. Inställningen till lässtrategiundervisning framstod som positiv och lärarna upplevde den som främjande för elevernas läsförståelse, särskilt för de svaga läsarna.
