Reading Corner

 

What is a reading corner?

Reading corner or book nook is a comfortable space to curl up with a good book. Whether your class is full of budding bookworms or reluctant readers, making a cosy reading space creates a magical ­experience for everyone.

We all know how important reading is to children's education, well-being and development; it improves literacy, sparks creativity and imagination. Providing a space where they can enjoy the magic of a good book is an easy way to encourage them to build these skills and fall in love with reading.

You can encourage children further by giving them a little time each day to relax and read a book of their choosing. Having a classroom reading corner would be the perfect place to do this.

Ideas on how to use Ella Bella Backdrops

No backdrop stand? No problem! 
Here are three ways to use Ella Bella® Photography Backdrops without one.

Turn two chairs back to back 4 foot apart. Take a 5 foot (or longer) rod and place it through the roll. Set the rod on the chair backs. Pull desired length from roll. Use clips to hold roll in place on rod.

Tape the edge of the Ella Bell roll to the wall, and pull desired length from roll. Optional, trim off any excess.

Use a DIY backdrop stand, like this one made from PVC pipe. Stick the horizontal bar at the top of the stand through the Ella Bella roll, and pull the desired length from the roll.
