I second your suggestion - keep reading aloud, whatever the ages. Intere sting to think how we have drifted from oral traditions of sharing songs, music, poetry and story, to the silence of solo listening and reading.
I encourage the graduate students I teach to continue reading aloud daily t o their high school and middle-grade students. Whatever the ages of my stu dents they remind me that part of each class - graduate level included - is a "reading aloud." As we teach, read aloud!
Thank you for a great list and I would add for middle-grade students pictur e-book /poetry collections:
Arnold Adoff's Roots and Blues, Celebration, paintings by R. Gregory Christie Shaun Tan's picture books recently discussed here, such as Lost and Foun d: The Red Tree, The Lost Thing, The Rabbits.

Reading Aloud Picture Books with Middle School Readers To: ccbc-net_at_ccbc.education.wisc.edu
I may have missed it but I haven't seen a post about reading aloud with old er readers. I've found middle school readers very receptive to some picture books. A lot of good discussions have come out them about artistic techniq ues and literary devices.
Here's a few titles that work particularly well:
Gaiman, Neil. The Wolves in the Walls. Illus. Dave McKean. Harper, 2005 .
Macaulay, David. Baaa. Houghton Mifflin, 1985.
Macaulay, David. Black and White. Houghton Mifflin, 1992.
Maruki, Toshi. Hiroshima No Pika. Lothrop, 1980.
McKee, David. Tusk Tusk. Kane/Miller, 1990.
Raschka, Chris. Arlene Sardine. Henry Holt, 1998.
Wild, Margaret. Fox. Illus. Ron Brooks. Kane/Miller, 2001.
Wild, Margaret. The Woolvs in the Sittee. Illus. Anne Spudvilas. Front St reet, 2007.
Math Curse and any of Sciezska's fractured fairy tales always work well.
