I miss reading aloud to my classroom students. Right after lunch, 15 minutes. They lined up quickly so that no reading time was wasted! Sideways Stories from Wayside School was perfect because each chapter stood on its own, and they were just the right length! Also, The Stories Julian Tells was a favorite. There is a story about lemon pudding that always had them on the edge of their seats! When we moved on to Roald Dahl's Witches, it was fun to read. (Vat a vonderful idea!)
I taught on the border of Texas most of my career. (Low income, Bilingual/English as a second language, Mexican Nationals dropped off each morning) I'm pretty sure they did not have books at home. I hope they all still enjoy reading.
