You made my day with your sweet, thoughtful words! You've motivated me today! xoxo<br />I love when things happen accidentally, especially something AMAZING like a student taking the initiative to read to her peers (no academic downtime!)! Do your students ask questions during their reading too? It would be a great think aloud activity for them to model (I did this during summer school several years ago-very effective). Such a fabulous idea for so many reasons and little prep for you!
