Janet Allen has this little flipbook thing that is filled with strategies for working with older readers (grades 4-8, I believe, if not 4-12). I have found them to be quite sound when modified for younger children. I love the gist strategy she describes in this booklet. I am betting you would find it helpful and it is just the sort of thing to support without overwhelming.
