Meanwhile, my question for the day/month:

Not just arguing the "other side" (as I find this especially true for me since grammar school), is there anyone out there who doesn't enjoy/appreciate/even comprehend "read-alouds"? Or have students/readers with the same reaction? To wit: This is not a pleasant experience (especially the chapter books for 6th graders). What to do with the various students (of all ages) who honestly don't want the read-aloud? I dread to think of negative implications from having a student "forced" to listen to a read-aloud that doesn't hook the reader.
