[LIT] Reading Intervention program for middle school

[PAltm81324 at aol.com]

I will be teaching greds 6 and 8 AIS next year. AIS is a response to 
intervention program for kids who have scored a low 2 on our state's assessment the 
previous year.  I've taught these same courses this year and I have found the 
kids have very poor vocabulary, fluency issues and their comprehension is 
terrible. The 8th graders really concern me as they are one year from moving into a 
highly rigorous high school program. If you were to teach these classes what 
are some things you would do?  How would you set the program up? 

Any suggestions on professional books that would be a help in this area?

Thanks
