Reading area theme for K classroom?

I teach Kindergarten and was trying to think of a theme for my reading area. Someone is already doing a reading garden. I considered Reading is Out of This World with stars and a space ship, or a reading castle, or a water/ocean theme. I think I like the ocean theme the best but what kind of slogan could i have? I can only think of Swim Into Reading but I do not like it that much, Any suggestions for slogans or other ideas for the reading area theme would be appreciated.

How about “Reading the World”. I’m envisioning supporting the concept of reading as having a valuable purpose in everything done in the world – so we “read” the weather or familiar labels or signs, for example, and for readers beginning to associate meaning with the written word, imagine how that bridge between what they know by “reading” the world around them, and then what they are learning: reading letters, connecting them with sounds, and creating meaning, would support all their acquisition skills by helping them to see themselves as readers already, regardless of whether they can decode.

Using this general theme could invite reading about seasons, animals, people, celebrations, geography, science – whatever your topic or skill/strategy focus might be, while supporting observational skills and receptive acquisition strategies. “Brown Bear” is a terrific book to use to show observational or receptive skills and their relationship to decoding text and expressive reading. “Students, students, what do you see?” Imagine the wonderful stories they’d tell!

Additionally, students could illustrate stories of the things they see and do in their own world as well – pets, friends, school activities, the books they’ve read, the stories they invent – supporting their expanding literacy skills as they work as authors.

Whatever theme you select, I know you’ll have a wonderful year!

You can have a fireplace theme. DJinkers (you can get through Carson Dellosa) makes a really cute fireplace bulletin board set and then you can put a rocking chair or recliner type chair with a reading lamp. It makes it a cozy corner for readers.

My friend had her whole Kindergarten classroom done up in a beach theme. Her reading area was titled “beachy reading.” She had child-size beach chairs and a beach umbrella. She used beach mats for a rug. It was adorable!

somebody in the city’s Municipal Water Plant. Get a sprint with the aid of in all probability calling city hall. probably an area or state government environmental company. in all probability the educational Outreach portion of their branch. yet do tell them it somewhat is for Pre-college as quickly as you get to the superb guy or woman. you does not prefer them to drone on approximately water utilization and each element once you purely prefer the toddlers to earnings the evaluation of it. reliable success

i like the space thing, but maybe have a rocket and put “blast into a book” or something. cuz the word blast always sounds cool and cool words appeal to children.

ooh or “reading is a blast”
