Almost all students love this. I rarely have had a student goof off with this. Partner reading - You just have to be careful who the partners are.
Student records a tape.
Sometimes my struggling students don't want to be seen reading the 'baby' books that are in their level. I pair up with a teacher from a lower grade. She tells me or provides me books which she would like to have recorded on tape. I assign or ask for volunteers to record these books. You do have to do some training on reading slowly and clearly.
