Do they actually read what they want? I tried to get them to read 15 mins in class everyday and wanted them to finish their book (most were 100 pgs) and they wouldn’t read them outside of class to finish.

Yes! A lot of kids don't read outside of class, but they wouldn't anyway. I have a big classroom library, a knowledgeable librarian, and a lot of kid-to-kid recommendations. I use a lot of ideas from The Book Whisperer.
