By reading the novel aloud and discussing it with the struggling students, they will still have the opportunity to engage in the book discussions with their peers. This option supports inclusion and allows all students to participate in the activity. Excusing struggling readers or requiring them to read the book independently may cause them to feel left out or discouraged. Motivating them to read independently is a good idea, but it may not be feasible for all students to do so. Reading the book aloud and discussing it with all students, including struggling readers, ensures that everyone is on the same page and can contribute to the discussions.
