We start off with just five- or ten-minute sessions, then work our way up to twenty or thirty minutes at a time. Within a few weeks, they're usually begging me not to stop.<BR/><BR/>For most of my career, my "money" book was Robert Lipsyte's <I>One Fat Summer</I>. I like that my students respond so well to it, because it is more introspective than narrative. It would be easy to read them something a little more action-packed, but I find it encouraging that my students can learn to listen to something like this instead.<BR/><BR/>I've gotten great responses from students in all grades from seven through twelve, except for sophomores! I don't know if it was this particular group of sophomores last year, or if it's the grade-level, but the sophs just wouldn't get into it.<BR/><BR/>I've also found some success (just not quite as universal) with Lloyd Alexander's <I>The Book of Three</I> and Ron Koertge's <I>The Harmony Arms</I>.<BR/><BR/>I've taught oral interpretation classes, and for encouraging students to read aloud to other students, I've had a blast with <I>Elbert's Bad Word</I>, <I>Double Trouble in Walla Walla</I>, and Daniel Pinkwater's <I>Young Larry</I>.onebadscrivenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369040536178632130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-78383057764205578442007-08-04T12:58:00.000-05:002007-08-04T12:58:00.000-05:00Great advice and good book suggestions.

I had great success with <EM>Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich</EM> for 4th and 5th grade. As a guest reader, it's hard to 3rd and up without doing a whole book - which you don't have time to finish. I look for older age picture books that they may have missed, short story collections, and poetry. Funny if possible or with suspense, otherwise.MotherReaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11274509991340797264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-27935664018682346652007-08-03T23:59:00.000-05:002007-08-03T23:59:00.000-05:00I think reading books with a class of students tha...I think reading books with a class of students that are you full time charges is a little bit different. I've rarely had a student get into The Birchbark House on their own, but most of them love it when they read along with me. A few other favorites: Number the Stars, Bud Not Buddy, There's A Boy in the Girl's Bathroom, and Thunder Rose.AMY Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02452785773591343577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-45307578760681121962007-08-03T20:05:00.000-05:002007-08-03T20:05:00.000-05:00It's pretty new, but I read it five times one week...It's pretty new, but I read it five times one week and it went over very, very well: I'm the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-8382163584440772182007-08-03T20:01:00.000-05:002007-08-03T20:01:00.000-05:00When my son was in preschool, his class liked "Lit...When my son was in preschool, his class liked "Little Red Hen (Makes a Pizza)," by Philemon Sturges. It's a fun one to read aloud. My husband took along ingredients and made English-muffin pizzas with the 4 year olds after reading the book.<BR/><BR/>Jr.'s kindergarten class liked Dav Pilkey's "Moonglow Roll O Rama," and first grade was really into "Abuela," by Arthur Dorros when I read it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
