Hi all,

I don't have all the answers, but one thing I do is devote 1 hour per week, 
in my 9th and 10th grade classes, to extensive reading. My kids drop and 
read...on the floor, under their desks, on their chairs or on a nice day, 
sometimes we go outside to read. I also arrange reading lessons in the 
library for a change of venue. I usually pick the more difficult hours at 
the end of the day for this. Reading in class shows the kids that reading is 
important and I can see that they ARE reading!

Regarding 11th and 12th graders, I do the same but not always weekly - every 
other week.

Bottom line, we can only do what we can do!

Laurie
