They’d all admired it once, rubbing the plush, velvety fabric between their fingers as she’d twirled around. Those days were long gone. She shifted around on the windowsill to look at her reflection and flinched. Not that she hadn’t been warned. He’d talked his way out of it of course, with a flash of snug fitting emerald green slacks; typical leprechaun.

11 Alternatives to "Round Robin" (and "Popcorn") Reading Round Robin Reading (RRR) has been a classroom staple for over 200 years and an activity that over half of K-8 teachers report using in one of its many forms, such as Popcorn Reading.

Cecile Somme echoes that perspective in Popcorn Reading: The Need to Encourage Reflective Practice: "Popcorn reading is one of the sure-fire ways to get kids who are already hesitant about reading to really hate reading."
