Cozy Pre-Kindergarten Reading Corner!

Help me give my students new manipulatives and a new cozy reading area!

My Project

Please help me give my students a new cozy reading area!

An attractive reading area can help increase the atmosphere for students to have even more opportunities to read together during their daily routines.

My students love BOOKS! However, due to our old bookshelves and books, students are not spending time in the reading area. Please help me give my students a new cozy reading area! A cozy reading corner will help influence students to read more and spend more reading which will help build language skills. Books expose a child to new words and ways of using language. All the new furniture, props, and books can help make our classroom and reading corner more welcoming and comfortable. New manipulatives will support my students' academic growth and develop early thinking and reasoning skills.
