Sammanfattning: The preschool's activities have a long tradition of reading aloud to children asa daily activity, usually as a rest for the children in the middle of the day. Thepurpose of this study is to shed light on how the teachers use children's literature from a language development perspective. Through interviews with preschool teachers, it has emerged that this language development work is something that differs partly between departments at a preschool but also in whatthe teacher in question has for knowledge in the area and the individual teacher's own interest. Several teachers want to work more with reading aloudsituations that have a focus on language development, this is because previousresearch has shown that early introduction of language development activitiesin preschools is crucial and will benefit all children to further develop the necessary language skills for future success. But due to large groups of childrenand lack of time this is hard to performe.
