Sometimes we just need to take a break from all the hard work we are doing! We call this relaxed reading (shhhh, don't tell them they are still working hard!). The students choose a comfortable place in the room to read quietly to themselves. Many like to use one of the cushions or pillows I have available and others love to sit in the teacher's chair. Relaxed reading provides a great time for me to listen to a variety of students whisper read their books to me.
i like this idea! so important to be comfortable when you are reading; i think that it adds to the enjoyment. thank you for sharing!
