Reading Environment
Skegness Infant School Nursery

An effective ‘
Indoor Book Area’ would include many features. This
should:
- Be positioned in a comfortable, cosy and
secure area
- Contain a wide range of reading materials
which would include books the children have made or books from
home
- Store books in a way that makes children see
the covers of books and want to open them
- Include, where possible, a listening
centre
- Be enhanced with provision such as small
world objects, cuddly toys or a story tray/ bag
- Include books which reflect images of people
from different cultures, genders and with a range of
disabilities
- Be enhanced according to children’s
interests, possible themes and previous observations
- Be arranged so that some of the books are
contained in different learning zones. For example, books linked to
sand near the sand tray and books linked to trains in the train
box.
Please also refer to the
characteristics of an effective ‘Outdoor Book Area.’
