There are so many benefits to reading out loud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill: how to sit 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.
