One problem I've had though is when the reader arrives when we're in the middle of something and not quite settled enough for a guest reader. To solve this problem I made a sign to hang on my closed classroom door. It lets your visitor know that they should knock loudly then be patient for just a minute.

Since I'm still on summer vacation (yay!) here's a picture of the sign on a door in my house.

It is funny the things our mind picks up on. My first thought was "that is what her classroom door looks like?" and then I read it is NOT your classroom! Love the sign and the idea. I wonder if it would work with sixth grade. I don't think most of the parents of my students would feel they could read aloud, but I could ask some other people to volunteer.

I think it would work with any grade. It is funny how nervous some of the guests are and how awful some can be at reading aloud. It makes for a good discussion about different reading styles :)
