I chose six bean bags and a wonderfully colorful rug for my reading area because the early years of education are when we can really make an impact on a child's love of reading that will last a lifetime.
Getting students excited about reading is the most important part of teaching, and it takes some salesmanship, enthusiasm, and a "special" place to read. My students will be thrilled to enjoy the Bean Bag Books Reading Area and it will inspire them to create such an area at home for themselves as well.
I work with students who often enter school behind their peers in more affluent communities, so anything that fosters reading enjoyment can make all the difference in their future success.
Thank you in advance!
