Most material can be read aloud.  I cannot remember my father wither something
in his hand to be read - the newspaper, a scrap of a book he found interesting,
a selection of classical and/or biblical materials he was poring over.  He read
aloud to all of us -- in a number of languages.  If we understood, we stayed -
if we didn't we went to another oom.  I learned a great deal about the process
and the joy of reading by being read to as small child - I learned lots of
language and many nuances of speech.

I recommend reading aloud to adults in every session.  "this is what I saw in
today's paper ..."  Students should have copy of the articles as you read - its
a great multisensory and provides much multicultural
experience.  It trains the ear to listen to English phonemic .. and to the
rhythm of the language - its prosody.
It creates a bond between teacher and student (you trust them to understand what
you reading - they will sooner or later).

It also gives a great deal of information to students.  Try it!
