Who wants to sit in a hard chair at a cold desk while reading a book? No one! Especially not 6 and 7 year olds! Learning to read is very hard work. It takes every bit of their concentration and focus to be able to sound out words and comprehend what they are reading. With these flexible and comfortable seating options, such as the Comfy Couch Listening Center, students will be able to relax more easily to be able to focus on their reading instead of focusing on being uncomfortable! These seating options will also allow them to sit with a peer to help each other while reading!
