The aim of the study is to examine the one-to-one interventions and methods used by special education teachers for pupils with reading disabilities. The study highlights how special education teachers plan, implement and evaluate the interventions, based on analysis of qualitative interviews. The survey consists of eleven special education teachers active in eleven different schools. The study shows that the special education teachers consider early, intense interventions and a combination of evidence-based methods and materials as a means for good results. A majority of the teachers emphasize high competence and use current research in planning, implementation and evaluation of reading interventions. The special education teachers are unanimous in that cooperation between different competences and with guardians is a necessity to best support pupils with reading difficulties. All special education teachers emphasize that a respectful relationship with the pupil must permeate the individual reading interventions. In summary, the special education teachers express the need of more time for early intense interventions regarding pupils with reading disabilities. A question that arises is why those responsible in the municipality, in spite of thorough screening and research, do not sufficiently prioritize early intense interventions.
