My Project

Reading is a wonderful activity that allows one to expand their knowledge, creativity, and comprehension. It broadens vocabulary, sharpens comprehension, and engages the mind. Books provide a chance to explore multiple perspectives and concepts, regardless of whether you read for pleasure, education, or personal development.

A classroom reading nook is a cozy and comfortable space designed specifically for reading.

It often includes a comfy chair or window seat, soft cushions, good lighting and shelves or baskets for books. It offers a peaceful retreat, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. We need the classroom rug to add to this space.

My dream is to enhance my classroom reading nook to improve my students performance in reading and at the same time provide a calm environment that encourages mindfulness and help readers stay present and engaged. The area can become a shared space where kids read with their peers and classmates, building stronger bonds and create a healthy screen-free zone.

Lastly, a dedicated space like this makes reading feel special and enjoyable, fostering a lifelong love for books. Boosts imagination and creativity where books transport readers to new worlds, sparking imagination and creative thinking that truly supports academic growth. Come, read a book in our reading nook!
