How many students do you think go away and read boks for 
book reports. Wouldnt it be a better idea to give out short stories 
and have a test on them?  You could ask the kids to read 2 short 
stories and tell them the test will be on one but not tell them 
which one. At least the pupils are more likely to read the story in 
depth rather than write a book report about the film of the book 
they have watched! Also weak learners- most  don't read books 
in Hebrew - do we really expect them to read a book in English - 
even if its on tape? I think we have to be realistic.
