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 not only for teaching them this sitting skill but also for exposing them to age-appropriate material. Plus, you never know which students you will touch with each story you read.
