The study examined the relationships between teachers' metacognitive knowledge of reading strategies and their students' metacognitive knowledge and reading comprehension. The study was carried out among language art teachers (N = 34) and their students (N = 534) in the last year of primary school (ninth grade) in Estonia. Multilevel modeling was used to test the hypotheses of relationships between students' metacognitive knowledge and reading comprehension, while controlling for students' previous reading comprehension (in eighth grade) as well as the relations between teachers' metacognitive knowledge of reading strategies and students' metacognitive knowledge and comprehension. The results showed that students' metacognitive knowledge of reading strategies related to their reading comprehension, concurring with previous findings. The main finding was that teachers' metacognitive knowledge of reading strategies significantly related to their students' metacognitive knowledge, but not to reading comprehension. These results indicate that students' reading comprehension may be supported by improving their metacognitive knowledge of reading strategies. In addition, the findings highlight the importance of teachers' metacognitive knowledge in students' metacognitive knowledge.
