These materials will give my students a comfortable and cozy place to escape their realities and fall into someone else's, all without leaving the classroom. “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies; The man who never reads lives only one.” – George RR Martin. The majority of students don't read for fun anymore, and I want to change that culture in my classroom. I do devote 10 minutes to independent reading each day, each class period, but I believe more students would buy into it, if they had somewhere comfy and cozy to relax when they open that book. It's difficult for some students to immerse themselves in a good book if they simply aren't comfortable. We've also heard from post-secondary educators that students are not leaving high school with enough reading stamina to be successful at the college level. This space will help students be comfortable, enjoy reading, and ultimately build that reading stamina that will benefit their future. In addition to being a place to read, this does allow me some additional flexible seating options during the class period for students who have a hard time sitting in a traditional seat.
