The development of language, writing and reading is crucial for pupils’ knowledge development in school. Interactive book reading has positive effects on pupils’ linguistic development and furthers their learning in school. Our study aims to find out how some teachers perceive their work with interactive book reading in preschool class and grade 3. The questions asked proceed from the didactic questions what, how and why. To achieve our aim and answer our questions, six interviews were held, three with teachers in preschool class and three with teachers in grade 3. Based on the interviews, categories were distinguished for each research question and similarities and differences between the two grades. The teachers describe interactive book reading as active participants and reflecting readers. In grade 3 the teachers work with established methods, while the majority of the teachers in preschool class work with models they have devised on their own. All the teachers state different reasons why they work with interactive book reading, but similar categories are revealed after analysis. The conclusion is that more training is needed in interactive book reading for teachers in preschool class.
