Reading Month and Book Classroom Decor

March is Reading Month and Book Classroom Decor

 

March is Reading Month and honestly as teachers… it’s kind of our Super Bowl. 

There’s something about this time of year. Spring is around the corner, routines are set, and we get a whole month to celebrate books, stories, imagination, and building lifelong readers.

If you’re an ELA teacher, reading specialist, librarian, reading lover in general, or just a classroom that runs on good books and great discussions, this is your sign to lean in!

 

If any of this looks like your vibe, stay tuned and let’s get into the goodness!

How Do I Decorate My Classroom for March is Reading Month?

March is Reading Month Collection

Bright. Cheerful. Full reading celebration energy.

The March is Reading Month collection is playful but polished — featuring stacked colorful books, bright moody florals, scalloped borders, nature details, and feel-good phrases like “It’s a Good Day to Read a Book.”

This collection feels like:

• Spring reset meets your TBR book stack
  

• Joyful and welcoming
  

• Perfect for elementary-high school classrooms and libraries
  

The florals pop, the colors feel fresh, and the book stacks take center stage. It’s a full celebration of reading month in decor form! Vibrant without being overwhelming.

If you want your classroom to instantly say “We love books here,” this is it.

Pastel Pages Collection

If soft boho vibes are your thing, this one is for you.

The Pastel Pages collection is light, airy, and calming, featuring muted pastel tones, sweet bows, books on books on books, and cozy classroom details.

It feels:

• Warm, cozy, and inviting
  

• Perfect for reading corners
  

• Encouraging and community-focused
  

• Beautiful for elementary - high school, ELA spaces, or libraries
  

The pastel palette (blush, mint, peach, soft aqua) creates a classroom that feels safe and welcoming, the kind of space where students actually want to curl up with a good book.

It’s gentle. It’s curated. It’s effortlessly cute without trying too hard!

Books and Bows Collection

Classic black and white, but make it literary.

The Books and Bows collection is bold, graphic, and timeless. Think satin bows tied around book stacks, polka dots, scalloped borders, vintage book page backgrounds, and clean high-contrast typography.

This collection works beautifully for:

• Upper elementary
  

• Middle school ELA
  

• High school English
  

• Teachers who love a polished, timeless, editorial look
  

It’s cozy reading corner meets modern academia. The black-and-white palette makes it incredibly versatile, and the bow details add just enough charm without feeling overdone.

If your style leans classic and elevated, this is your book classroom decor moment!
