It is not essential to design a good reading spot in your
home. Any comfortable well-lighted place
will do, however, there are definitely benefits to having a good reading
spot. If you create a specific reading
spot it should include the following:
- A comfortable place to sit, recline or lie
- Good natural light
- Good reading light
- Pillows
- A light blanket or wrap
- A table to put drinks or snacks on
- A well-ventilated area
- An area free from distraction
- A room with a door that can be shut to provide privacy
- Shelves with books
- Paper, pens and highlighters for notes, etc.
- A dictionary to look up new words
- A source of tranquil music (if you desire one)
- A pair of reading glasses (if needed)
- Leave electronic devices (except eBook readers) outside the door!
It is best to wear comfortable clothing when you read so that
you are able to relax and get into your book.
Be sure to get up now and again to stretch your legs and move a
little. A good reading spot can be an
oasis to return to again and again to gain relaxation and escape from the hustle
and bustle of your real world.
Introduce your children to quiet time in the reading spot
you have created. It will teach them to
enjoy reading and get caught up in stories that are even better than watching
television or movies. Reading is for all
ages and all genres. Find what you like,
sit back, and get into a good book – you’ll be glad you did!
