Reading Rooms




The Ben Carson Reading Rooms are designed to encourage young people to discover the joy of independent reading in a warm, inviting atmosphere, with rewards given for minutes read. Through the generosity of individual, corporate and foundation donors, the Reading Rooms have been decorated with attractive, eye-catching artwork based on the easy to remember mnemonics of its founder, Dr. Benjamin Carson’s ‘THINK BIG” Philosophy of self-realization. The rooms are also furnished with books, graphics, child-sized beanbag chairs and large multi-colored pillows. Donors have also contributed to the installation of carpeting, which allows the students to make themselves comfortable and relax as they read. The Reading Rooms have become the oasis among the designated school’s classroom. Please follow this link if your organization is interested in sponsoring a Reading Room.
