Organizing

One of the first steps to organize a space is to give everything a home. Then only keep what will be in current use front and center. This is key to keeping a space orderly and manageable.

This is how we keep our current read books displayed. It’s simple, manageable, and everything can be seen. This month I decided to use the top shelf for our space activity book and poster.

Keeping a small collection of kids’ books out, and storing the rest, encourages deeper play and repetitive reading-which allows a child to read with fluency and greater comprehension.
