Research shows that young people of today read less and less fiction based on a negative attitude towards reading. At the same time, multimodal media is an increasingly growing part of what the school is expected to focus on. The purpose of the following study is to contribute with knowledge about upper secondary school teachers views on the relationship between multimodal media and students' reading pleasure in literature teaching. This is then discussed from Linda B. Gambrell's research-based perspective on the promotion of reading motivation and transmedia storytelling. By interviewing four practicing Swedish teachers from one upper secondary school, it becomes clear which multimodal media teachers at the school use and how they use these in literature teaching. The results of the study show that teachers use multimodal media such as film, pictures, theater, audiobook and podcast. The teachers experience that multimodal media function as a gateway to fiction in that these media arouse interest and stimulate students in a way that only traditional reading is not experienced as doing. Students get the opportunity to experience one and the same story through different media. At the same time, teachers value the traditional reading of printed text highly in a way that the use of multimodal media should not take place at the expense of traditional reading.
