This study aims to explore strategies and methods that Swedish teachers use to motivate middle-school students to read literature. By distributing qualitative surveys to teachers, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of how Swedish teachers motivate their students to engage with literature in the classroom. The study is centered around two main research questions: First, what strategies and methods do teachers use to raise 7–9 students interested in reading literature? Second, what challenges and opportunities do these strategies and methods present? The results show that effective strategies include allocating sufficient time for reading, choosing texts that match the students’ own life experiences and providing the opportunity to choose what to read autonomously. Challenges include not having enough resources and dealing with different interests among students. However, there are opportunities to improve teaching by using a variety of interesting materials. This study highlights how important teachers are when it comes to creating a lively and welcoming space for reading that motivate students to involve and learn more.
