Help Create Reading Space!

Help me give my students beanbags, because I'm passionate about creating a welcoming, engaging learning environment for my students and want to foster a love for reading by setting up a cozy reading corner.

My Project

Reading is the foundation for so much of our students’ future success—it builds vocabulary, improves focus, strengthens comprehension, and helps them think critically about the world around them. But more than that, reading gives students a chance to imagine, explore, and dream.

That’s why I’m working to create a cozy reading corner in my classroom—a safe, quiet space filled with books and soft, inviting beanbag chairs where students can curl up and get lost in a story.

Comfortable seating may seem small, but it truly makes a big difference. When students feel relaxed, they are far more likely to engage with books and discover that reading can be both fun and meaningful.
