Reading
As so many children still arrive at nursery or school without the experience of valuing books, early years practitioners need to create an environment in which books are an integral part of the daily routine.
Book corner
Initially, it is essential to organise an area of the room that is devoted to relaxed reading and where children can sit peacefully and browse through books. With lots of encouragement, children will gravitate to the corner where they can interact with their peers.
To make your book corner appealing:
* Ensure it is comfortable, and well lit, preferably close to natural light.
