[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I am a teacher and feel reading aloud with older kids is SO incredibly important! People assume that once a child hits third grade the kids should read silently, but research has shown reading aloud to older readers increases fluency, vocabulary, engagement and motivation! The later are essential for teen readers. Those who wrote the negative comments are truly ignorant about reading engagement. About your initial question, you can do read alouds with any books they are interested in. Interest is KEY! There also has been a lot of studies on the benefits of using picture books with older readers... http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/93738787/using-picture-books-adolescent-readers-enhance-literacy-instruction[/quote]
