To answer your question, in my opinion, you should absolutely read aloud to students of all ages. Yes, there will be some who just do not love the read aloud, but I promise that most will love the routine. I spend a lot of time choosing my read alouds, and always read them first so that I can "test" whether or not I think they will be a hit. The students always love it, and beg me to read more. I currently work with ages 10-12, but I had the same reaction when I taught 7th-12th grade. It is also where I teach a ton of my comprehension skills.
