In my experience, I never wait for all students to finish reading silently.
I teach 8th grade and my students finish reading at various times. When most
of the students are finished, I continue the lesson. I cannot quote research
on this technique, but I know it has been discussed in some of my reading
classes recently. I have found that in 8th grade you must keep the
lesson/pace moving ahead to maintain student interest. I haven't taught 4th
grade in a long time, but I would think keeping pace moving would help with
student interest too.

My major
problem with this is that some students read quickly and have to wait a
while for the others. They tend to use this time for completing other
homework or to read something else. I feel this may hinder them from
remembering what they just read. >Patty
