Encouraging students to write reviews of books they’ve read in the reading corner is a great way to encourage conversation and incite peer reading. You could also use the board to write quotes, trivia and jokes that will get your students thinking about authors and stories they may not have heard of yet.
Encourage parents to send teachers photos of their child reading at home – with those photos earning pride of place in the reading nook of the classroom. Other shoutout ideas could include matching student names or photos with their favourite books or authors.
If you’re looking for some book nook ideas that don’t take up a lot of space in your classroom, here are a few interesting ideas we found online from teachers thinking outside the (shelving) box.
