I just attended a workshop where the presenter said that you send the children off to a different places in the room to rad aloud, and you circulate to listen to them read. SHe also said that she has children read quietly and the child that she is listening to in a regular voice. Also she recommended not using the kidney table because that reflects the childs voice to the child next to him/her. I plan to try this after the break. It makes sense and my kids already like reading all over the floor in their own special place, so I figure circulating shouldn't be a problem. Oh, she did say the same independent readers, but that she stilll likes listening to them. She said she only takes a minute or two to listen to each child from the group. Hope this helps.
