Having books on display makes it easier for kids to see what books are available to them. I love displaying and changing the books every season, every holiday, or every unit. Having a large display center for books allows first graders to see all the different books available for them to read. Students will be able to see all the different titles available. It is so important to have students see the wide variety of different titles. Children can buddy read with partners in class. Children love reading with partners or even independently. Children would love this addition to their classroom.
