The Big Joe bean bag chairs will provide my students with a comfortable place to read within the classroom. Since the students have to sit at desks 90% of the school day, I believe giving them a comfortable chair to sit and read will help them focus better on the reading. The chairs will be placed in the corner of the room next to the class library, and the only way a student can use the bean bags is when they are reading a novel.
Providing the students a different setting for their reading may encourage them to start reading more often on their own because they will have a special place to do so.
If a student's only reason for reading is to sit in a comfortable chair for twenty minutes of the day, then I would call that a success because they have chosen to read independently.
