How can Jonti-Craft seating be used to create a classroom reading center?
Child-sized couches, chairs, benches, and Read-A-Round seating can be arranged to create an inviting literacy area. Several Jonti-Craft designs also incorporate book storage, tubs, or cubbie trays so books and literacy materials can be kept close to the seating area.
