The reason I made this project is because my students don't have any comfy or versatile reading spots for read-to-self time. They have just been reading at their desk or on the carpet.
I want them to be excited about reading and give them more choices. I think my students will love the bean bags for getting comfortable while reading, the textured pillows to sit on at their seats and wobble cushions for those that like to move around while still engaging in a text. They will get to explore each one of them as we will change reading spots daily. I also think they will enjoy a bookshelf where I can display favorite books or books that are pertinent to the season or holiday that's going on.
Our goal at the end of the year is to build stamina during read-to-self time. Building stamina in kindergarten takes lots of time and patience. Our end goal is to read for 15-20 minutes without stopping. I know these comfortable seating options will help my students stay focused and comfortable in order to read longer!
