I don't believe it's necessary to read the whole chapter. In fact I feel kinda stupid if that happens, as if I can't read on my own.
However I also can't stand the "read one verse then ignore it the rest of the time" approach. If they want to read a verse then build the message around and on that verse. Explain it. Explain the grammar and context. Instead verse reading is a pretext to tell anecdotes.
If the teaching is going verse by verse and expounding on it exegetically, that might be interesting, yeah to do one chapter at a time
