[ISLMA-Share] silent reading

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have several areas with a few kid sized chairs and sofas. Only kids
following behavior expectations get to sit there. We also have stuffed
'reading buddy' animals that kids can read to or pretend is reading to
them. I lay down the rules (# of bottoms in each piece of furniture, no
buddies flying through the air), and they know I'm serious that the
privilege will end if they don't comply.
