Creating Cozy Corners to Make Reading Inviting

Help me give my students cozy seating to help them get lost in their books when reading around the room. Reading groups and individual students love soft places to read and share. These items will make this possible.

My Project

Flexible seating allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. During independent work times, they choose a location in the classroom that works for them. Currently, my students are choosing to work in a variety of locations in our room, such as at different tables, sitting under tables with clipboards, or sitting or laying on the floor with a clipboard. Making sure students are comfortable is an essential component in motivating them. I have noticed amazing differences in my students when they are given a choice in their seating. They almost always make good choices about where they sit, are more engaged, and get more work completed than when they are just sitting at their desk.

My students spend a lot of time reading and discussing books.

Having a soft and cozy place to read allows them to get sucked into the magical world in their books. They love sitting on the floor with their peers talking about what they are reading. Anything I can do to make reading and sharing books more enjoyable benefits the entire class!
