  Case: Read Along
Everyday, after lunch, we do a two class read aloud. This allows one teacher some RTI time. Some students feel this is time to goof off and disrupt the class. How do I control these students without taking away from this fun activity?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You should switch up how the read-aloud is performed each day. Maybe one day you read aloud to the students. Have the come in, sit in the reading area criss-cross-applesauce and explain that you expect full-body listening. Another day you may have the students take turns reading a passage. Switching things up and having the students feel more included may be a good solution to this problem.
