Developing good reading skills is crucial for all pupils in school, and the reading book is a tool for achieving that. Pupils are entitled to good reading instruction, regardless of which reading level they are at, and regardless of the level of the reader they have been given. The aim of the study is to examine a particular teaching material and describe the differences that exist between a simpler and a more difficult variant of the same reader. The study is a textual analysis focused on the two readers for grade 2 from the material Diamantjakten (The Diamond Hunt). The study shows that the two books display great differences. Reading the simpler book involves a smaller amount of text, fewer descriptive expressions, and a smaller number of words, but it does make demands on the reader’s ability to read between the lines. Readers of the more difficult book encounter a more nuanced and vivid text, but are given few opportunities to draw their own conclusions about the text.
