I'd love to know what other schools do in their remedial or intensive reading classes at the high school level.

In my county, 9th and 10th grade use the Accelerated Reader program.

11th and 12th grade has no standard curriculum, program, or books. At my school, the other two 11th/12th grade reading teachers and I have been working to create a curriculum including SSR, affix study, vocabulary, and, of course, reading comprehension strategies. We have a couple sets of novels but otherwise we use whatever articles/stories we can find, usually off the internet. The New York Times site for educators also helps a lot.

My district is currently using READ 180 & it's companion program System 44. Good results so far, but the programs are pricey and require teachers to be willing to stop doing things they've always done and follow the program. It doesn't work for everybody, but we've seen substantial improvement for many students

Mark Pennington Having taught remedial reading for four years in the high school setting, I know the challenges you face.I have written an article on what makes a successful reading intervention program that may be of some help. See [link removed].

Teri Thanks, but I what I requested was information on what other teachers were doing. I too have taught remedial reading in the high school setting for four years (and counting) and have a master's degree in Reading Education. I know what/how to teach. Just wanted to compare what I was doing to what others were doing.
