[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We read so many books as class starting in 4th grade. I specially remember two of the books in 4th being A Bridge to Terabithia and A Wrinkle in Time.  And we had to take turns reading aloud in class. Do kids do this anymore? [/quote]

Why would they?  How does that help anyone?

Ours start in second grade.  In kindergarten and first grade they are reading according to their level.   They read Roald Dahl, Mildred Taylor books like Let the Circle be Unbroken, The Family Under the Bridge are some of them.  [/quote]

It’s extremely helpful.  It in increases fluency, pronunciation, and forces kids to actually read and pay attention (since you could be called to pick up at any time).  Playing the book on Audio means most are probably zoning out and not engaged at all. Silent reading means many of the kids maybe just glancing over words they don’t know with no idea what they mean or how to say them. Reading aloud is extremely beneficial [/quote]
