For some students, reading can be a chore, especially when they associate books with a cold, uncomfortable classroom. While some schools are made of concrete blocks, others lack windows, and still others feature plain gray walls. These environments can make students feel nervous, tired or distracted. To remedy this problem, many teachers create reading areas or nooks in a corner or small section of the classroom. Mimicking a home environment through decor and furnishings can stimulate students' creativity, draw students' interest and make students comfortable while they read.
