I have students who want to read aloud list their names on the
board, then take turns reading aloud, along with me. But, they
read anywhere from one paragraph to 1 1/2 page, what ever they
feel comfortable with. I also prompt the whole class with
questions as we read, which they have to answer in writing, as
we go. I also circulate through the room, and if a student is
not tracking along, they lose reading participation points. We
also do before/during/after reading activities and discuss
vocabulary. Would this be considered "Round Robin Reading"?
