I will use flexible seating in my classroom to boost reading stamina. My students have difficulty sitting in our uncomfortable school chairs for extended periods of time. They often rock in their chairs or wiggle out of them, which is unsafe and unproductive. When they have a choice for seating, they will often choose the carpet, and I have noticed that they are much more attentive and engaged than when they are at their desks. I would like to allow for more students to have seating choices in my classroom. Providing them with these chairs will allow them to focus on the task of reading while at the same time, getting out some of their excess energy.
