There are many benefits to reading aloud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill: sitting still while someone else is talking. Your parents will also LOVE you for not only teaching them this skill of sitting but also for exposing them to age-appropriate material. Plus, you never know which students you will touch with each story you read.
