First, it can’t be very long. I have ADD. And I’m a
fast reader. If a book runs too long, I will abandon it half way
through and leave the kids hanging. That’s not good.
Second, it needs to be suspenseful. Every chapter should offer some action or important information.
Third, it can’t have too much detail. That gets
real boring real fast. I understand that detail is great when you are
reading to yourself, but for a read aloud? No.
These are the tried-and-true titles. The ones that multiple teachers
have used multiple times and have always found them to work.
