Fifth graders require extra encouragement and inspiration to read. This is why I want to create a Reading Cafe in my reading and language arts classroom. Meeting my project goal will serve every fifth grade student in our school with a resource-rich, comfortable, relaxing, and fun space for reading in my classroom. It is important to me as a reading teacher in a low-income area to provide the resources, materials, and environment that they do not have when they go home at the end of each day. The materials I have added to my project include books for our classroom library, lighting, comfortable furniture, and decor that inspires and encourages students to want to read in this space. The specific items were chosen to resemble a coffee shop-esque cafe. I have chosen a couch for students to lounge and read, a rug for students to sit or lay upon while reading, dim and relaxing lighting, inspirational quote posters and decor, and pillows for added comfort. The texts I have chosen are grade-level appropriate and are best sellers. As of now, our classroom library is bare.
