[LM_NET] TAR: HS Reading Classes

[Joy Doggett <doggetja@VINITAHORNETS.COM>]

We are revamping our reading program to include a reading class for all 
students who are reading below grade level.
This is in addition to their normal English classes. I would like to 
hear from other schools that have a similar class in place as to how 
they structure the class, i.e., how grades are assigned, types of 
projects done, etc. Our class periods are 70 minutes, so there will be 
plenty of time for independent reading.  I'm of the opinion that the 
class needs to be light, for lack of a better word, and that it should 
not be a class where material is analyzed to pieces. My concern is that 
if it isn't handled correctly it might further turn off the already 
reluctant reader. Any thoughts and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
