The purpose of this study was to highlight educators' view of the Government's reading-promoting efforts to make visible if the efforts facilitate the difficulties that the teachers experience when it comes to reading aloud for children in preschool, and whether educators who work with children in preschool believe that investments should be made in other areas rather than reading aloud to achieve the government's goals with the reading-promoting efforts. The survey was conducted in the form of a websurvey aimed at educators who work with children in preschool. 100 people responded to the questionnaire and thereby participated in the survey. The study uses Bronfenbrenner's developmental ecological system theory to explain and analyse the results that emerged from the study. The result shows that educators who work with children in preschool experience large groups of children and lack of time as the biggest challenges when it comes to reading aloud in preschool. It shows that the majority of respondents believe that the Government's reading-promoting efforts to a certain extent have helped to create better conditions for reading aloud in preschool, but also that a large part of the respondents believe that investments should be made in other areas than just reading to achieve the government's purpose of the current investments. It appears on several occasions that reduced children's groups would facilitate the work with reading aloud at the preschool. The result also shows that the respondents do not feel that they have great potential for influence in political decisions concerning preschool and that almost all participants wish that they had greater influence than what they have today.
