What better way to get kids reading than create a space for them to do it in? No need for upscale book nook ideas; you probably have everything you need laying around somewhere in your home. All you need to do is cobble together a cozy spot in a corner of your child's room, on the sun porch, in the basement, or under a tree, and even your most reluctant reader will settle in for a long, juicy read.
You may also want to lay some ground rules for your child's book nook. For example, restricting the use of electronics-or anything other than books, for that matter. You want your child to associate her new spot with reading, rather than turning it into a 'gaming corner' or a doll's house. Your child will probably want to use her book nook for everything she can think of when it's new, but if she does, she may lose her motivation to grab a book and snuggle in.
A THEME Start with a theme. How does your child want to feel while he's in his book nook? Like he's sitting on a cloud? In a forest? Under a rainbow? Your theme will inform the colors, textures, and props you'll want to fill the space with. If your child has a favorite book, movie, or superhero, start there. Keep it simple. If he loves Spiderman, Spiderman stickers and a poster will do.
