Reading Corners {Oriental Trading}

When Oriental Trading contacted me about creating a Reading Corner in my classroom, I was a little surprised.  I know their company mostly for their party supplies and craft goodies…but after visiting their website's special section for Reading Corners, I realized I hadn't been paying very close attention to their site!  I spent a lot of time looking at all the different products and I finally decided to not do just a single "theme"…instead, I wanted to create a space that helps make reading fun!
I got this great circus "Big Top" canopy, perfect for a reading spot…I even got the big, bright pillows from Oriental Trading!
 The reading strips are perfect for kids like my son who need help focusing on a single line of text.
 I found a Cat in the Hat Pointer and Word Swatters, too!
Did I mention that I decided to get a Reading Tunnel, too?  It's perfect for reading…I can fold it up and store it easily and then open it when we need a special spot for reading!
Oriental Trading had everything I needed to create a Reading Corner that reflect my bright classroom…and fun approach to learning!
