Setting up a reading corner for your class? Not quite sure where to start? Our round-up of inspirational book nooks will have your class happy to be reading – in no time!
1. Boho Neutrals Reading Corner
Source: @teaching6This stunning reading space belongs to a very lucky grade six class and their teacher. With an earthy, boho feel, it’s the perfect area to encourage pre-teen students to pick up a book. The circle of bean bags provides a sanctuary for quiet reflection and doubles as a space for group discussion. This Boho-Neutrals reading corner theme lends itself perfectly to an upper primary classroom! Our Pastel Flags Classroom Theme Pack is the perfect addition to this style of reading corner!

5. Poet-Tree Reading Corner

In another example of using creativity and cleverness, these teachers have made a retreat for their students to immerse themselves in literature! Check out that amazing tree made from brown paper. You could use our FREE Gratitude Leaves Template to decorate your Poet-Tree!

7. Green and Serene Reading Corner
This light-filled, airy reading corner is bright and beautiful. The classroom teacher, our very own Emma, utilised a piece of astro-turf for a whimsical floor, and gorgeous faux greenery to create a relaxing, low-maintenance space. Colourful throw cushions make for comfy, casual seating!

8. Pretty in Pastel Reading Corner

If you decide to later change up your reading corner theme colours, you can purchase new storage box inserts, as they’re inexpensive. A huge rug is also a great investment; if you have the space, your whole class can enjoy a story in the reading corner together!

9. Books are the Best Gifts Reading Corner
Source: @teacher.tessHere’s one to keep up your sleeve for December! This clever teacher has her reading corner all wrapped up – literally! Nearing the end of the year, she decided to gift wrap 25 books in Christmas wrapping paper to enjoy as an advent calendar of sorts with her students!
