Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules

I have a group of fifth grade boys with Intellectual Disabilities that really wanted to read this book before the movie comes out on March 25th. I read it aloud for 15 min a day and without fail everyday they begged to read it more.

As a thirty something woman with 3 daughters I had a difficult time relating to the book. "My boys" however loved the book and were rolling on the ground. I also had a male student observer from Lindenwood who was laughing along with them. In one way it was a difficult read aloud because the pictures were so small so if I read it aloud again I would have a lit set. On the other hand it was a good one to read aloud with my group though because I could help explain the pictures and have built in comprehension checks often.
