We've embarked on a shared reading experience in my sixth grade classes: I have agreed to read as much of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series as I can for the rest of the school year. We are halfway through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone so far.
Before I began, I polled the kids to see how many of them had recently been read to by an adult for an extended period of time. Only a few raised their hands.
So far, so good. I can tell this was the right choice for a read aloud because at the conclusion of every chapter, I'm bombarded by shouts to "Read more! Read more!"
