Hello. I am thinking of scheduling Swiss Family Robinson for my third grader's Literature (family read aloud) this upcoming school year but haven't decided on a break-down.
Has anyone done this before as a read aloud and, if so, within what kind of a time frame?
Any help would be appreciated.

We read this aloud several years ago, but I don't remember how long it took. We just read for about twenty minutes at a time until it was done. Not much help, huh? Be sure and leave lots of room for laughing--my kids thought this was the funniest book I'd ever read to them.

My son just finished this book. I scheduled it as an independent read (he was in 6th) over the last two terms of the year. Some weeks he read one chapter and some weeks he read 1/2 a chapter.

FWIW: I think we'll be reading that as well and plan to just do our 20 min. schedule with it.
I wanted to read Heidi but haven't found an inexpensive, unabridged copy for home yet :)

I like the Puffin Classics books. They are usually unabridged. And I like that it is stated clearly on the back if it is unabridged. They are about $5 on Amazon, where you can usually view the back cover to make sure it's unabridged. I just checked, and they have Heidi.

Here's a wonderful, unabridged, beautifully illustrated version by Jessie Wilcox Smith that we did this past year.http://www.amazon.com/Heidi-Books-Wonder-Johanna-Spyri/dp/0688145191#_
Look under the used section, not the new for the best prices. Plus, it's a hardcover.
