Creative Reading Corner Ideas
My girls are excellent readers. Growing up, this was not true of me. I hated to read. This lead me to the conclusion that they got some of this love through their environment over their genetics. I did a few things to “manipulate” good readers including creating an environment that embraced reading. From the time they were very young, I rarely said no buying them a book. I shopped wisely, but when a book was finished, I often purchased a new one. This was especially true when they began reading chapter books and series. This grew and grew our library to the point where most of our shelves are strewn with books. In fact, my son’s bedroom is a library. I love this as he is only two years old and falls asleep surrounded by books.
Buying Used Books
I have been able to shop frugally for my girls. Often, I purchase used books from Thrift Books or, my favorite, Better World Books. These books come in decent conditions. Sometimes they are a used library book or a book from a home. Either condition, doesn’t matter to me. It’s not the outside of the book, it’s the journey they go on inside.
When my girls were young and just beginning to read, I gave them the option to either go straight to sleep or to read in their bed another hour. I left a clock in their room and provided book lights if they chose the later. One of our favorite books to get started on reading was Bob Books. Currently, they are in 3rd and 5th grade and I still provide this same rule. Go to bed or read until (the time I provide.)
Creative Kids Reading Corner Ideas
Doing a few of these things – providing books, providing time, and providing a space – as created girls who love to read and are very good at reading. They are creative, young ladies, and I attribute it to these resources.
To provide your own enjoyable reading environment, take a look at some of these Creative Kids Reading Corner Ideas for the Home to create your very own young readers in the home.
You might find some of these ideas in our Teen Bedroom Spaces and also in our Bookshelf Styling Ideas.
