My Project

Opportunities to read for enjoyment is a crucial part of developing the love of reading in the elementary years. I would like to motivate and give my students the opportunity to love and enjoy reading.

Reading books in the dark can help my students focus on their reading and enjoy it.

My students will use the booklights to read a book in the dark, and they will have the opportunity to choose a comfortable place to sit. The wobble cushions will allow students to be even more comfortable while sitting on the floor.

I want to give my students a fun way to enjoy reading and fall in love with reading. This time is a great opportunity for them to choose a book they are interested in.
