Getting Cozy While Reading

Help me give my students a quiet, cozy spot for them to read. I want them to be comfortable and begin loving to read.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Brittany Allen's classroom raised $282

My Project

I learned to love reading in the classroom. I remember my third-grade teacher reading books aloud. She created an inviting atmosphere for literacy and reading; I credit her for my love of books. She also had an attractive reading corner in the classroom where we could enjoy our independent reading in cozy chairs and cushions.

If you’re like me and want to help support kids to love reading, a cozy reading corner with a rug, posters and fun read-alouds are a must.

This project will be a great start to helping me set up my class reading corner.
