Celebrating Malin Rosendahl – proud winner of the Helgepriset 2026!

We at Internationella Engelska Skolan Kungsbacka are immensely proud to announce that our teacher Malin Rosendahl has been awarded Helgepriset 2026. She receives the scholarship of SEK 125,000 for her successful reading method HögläsningsRally (Read-Aloud Rally).

The Helgepriset is awarded by the Helge Ax:son Johnson Foundation to support outstanding pedagogical development work in Swedish schools. Malin is recognised in the primary school category for the educational model she has developed over five years with us, where short, recurring read-aloud sessions have strengthened our students' reading fluency, motivation, and confidence.

With the help of the scholarship, we now look forward to evaluating and further developing the method into an integrated reading material for national distribution.

"It feels fantastic and truly honored to receive the Helgepriset. Having the opportunity to evaluate and further develop HögläsningsRallyt allows us to reach even more students and give them the chance to build strong reading fluency and a lifelong love of reading," says Malin Rosendahl.

"We are incredibly proud of Malin and her fantastic achievement. This award is a testament to her outstanding dedication to our students' reading development. Dedicated teachers like Malin make an enormous difference in our school every day," says Carl Waddington, Principal at IES Kungsbacka.
