Cozy Reading Corner!

My Project

As educators, fostering a love for reading is one of the most important things we can do. In first grade, students develop their love for reading as they learn new skills to help them navigate reading. A cozy reading corner would be used during various times of the day. Students would be able to choose a flexible, seating beanbag along with a book that is specific to their reading level. This time would allow students to read for pleasure and help them build their stamina for reading. If we are able to foster a love for reading at a young age, students will see reading as a positive thing rather than something they have to do. It is extremely important that students have books that are at their reading level. It is also important to teach students how to find books that are at their reading level. With a variety of books, at my students reading level, they will be able to choose books that interests them and allow them to explore their love for reading.
