I know I some of you felt that "Popcorn Reading" made you feel anxious and on-edge, because you never knew if you were going to read, but I think that Gallagher agrees with the intent, accountability. If you never knew when you would be chosen to read in the story, you paid attention to ensure you knew where we were. Although this might be awkward with a new class, I think the intent and effects of on-task behavior out-weigh the anxiety of a few students.

I like using popcorn reading in the classroom for that very reason. It's important to hold students accountable in class, and it's a great way to keep them on task.
