I still read aloud quite often to my son, a rising 6th grader. I choose things that he either wouldn't read himself or that I like to read aloud because they have good flow. We've read most of Harry Potter (I skipped the last one), some modern classics like Ms. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh, Cricket in Times Square, Where the Red Fern Grows and From the Mixed up Files of Ms. Basil E Frankweiler, and some books with girls as the narrator that he wouldn't otherwise read like Mango Shaped Space.
