My Project
Creating a Cozy Reading Nook to Foster a Love for Reading
This project aims to create a warm, welcoming reading nook that supports small group reading, builds a safe and inclusive learning community, and encourages students to grow as confident, enthusiastic readers.
The reading nook will be a dedicated space where students feel comfortable, valued, and engaged in their reading journey.
To make this vision a reality, the space will be equipped with padded school floor chairs and soft floor cushions, offering flexible, comfortable seating that allows students to focus without distraction. A large rug will define the space and create a cozy atmosphere, helping students feel like they’re stepping into a special place designed just for them.
LapGear Compact Lap Desks will give students a sturdy surface to write, draw, or take notes, making the space functional and versatile for reading response activities, partner work, and independent tasks. The compact design allows students to work comfortably from the floor while maintaining good posture.
To keep the space clean and inviting, a carpet sweeper will be used regularly so students can take pride in maintaining their learning environment, encouraging responsibility and respect for shared spaces.
This reading nook will not only be a place for literacy development it will be a hub of collaboration, confidence-building, and joy. By offering an environment where students feel physically and emotionally comfortable, we’re helping them associate reading with positive experiences, which is essential in developing lifelong readers.
