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.
