I am fortunate to work with an amazingly creative technology person. We are located next to each other in my school. This morning I volunteered to show our 1st graders a movie while their teachers were occupied elsewhere. As I was debating what to show them, the creative tech person offered to give up her 4th grade computer class to allow them to read to the 1st graders. Yahoo!
We had 15 minutes prep time with the 4th grade which included selecting books they liked as a "kid" or books they thought 1st graders might like, practicing reading the books aloud, then pairing them up with 1st grade buddies and letting them loose in the library to read. The boys all loved it. One 4th grader was overheard saying, "This makes me feel like a grown-up."
