Professor Villa made her students read four novels.
Can I rewrite the sentence as follows?
1. Professor Villa made her students reading four novels.
2. Professor Villa made her students to read four novels.

If yes, is there any difference in meaning between them?

The rule says: Make + Object + V. in the base form (bare infinitive).
