A Cozy Reading Corner for Every Learner

Help me give my students a comfortable and inviting reading space. I would love to add 2 bean bag chairs, 6 floor pillows, a washable rug, a floor lamp, and several new books to our reading area.

My Project

In our special education classroom, creating a space where students can enjoy reading and feel comfortable is essential for fostering a love of learning. Currently, we lack a dedicated area for students to relax, read, and explore books in a quiet, comfortable setting. I am asking for your support to transform a corner of our room into a cozy reading nook with two bean bag chairs, six floor pillows, a soft, *washable* rug, a floor lamp, and a few new books for students to read. These items will allow students to sit comfortably while reading.

A comfortable and inviting reading corner will help my students feel more at ease and focused, making them more likely to enjoy their reading time.

A calming reading area will allow students to truly connect with stories, build their literacy skills, and develop a passion for reading. The flexible seating options and warm ambiance will make this area a welcoming spot for every learner.

In addition to the physical comfort, I would love to add a few new books to our classroom library. By creating a cozy, dedicated reading corner, you'll be helping my students develop not only their reading skills but also their love for learning in a space that's all their own.
