Yellowbug, In regards to your request for specific reading lessons......my first thought was to ask what assessments you are using. That will identify the specifics, I think. Though I'll admit right up front that finding good assessments isn't always easy.
Just some past experiences...When I had to make due with the assessments my district provided. When I thought a child was having grade level decoding problems I loved the Quick Phonics Screener to give me some specific target lessons. A QRI let me zoom in on whether a child's comprehension was weak due to something as basic as inability to recall information and answer explicit questions, or was it higher level explicit. A fluency check directed me to lessons on phrasing or simply building rate (though not at the cost of comprehension) Our state test let me know if a class or individuals were having problems with summarizing, locating information in a text, answering Level 2 questions. I know none of that is rocket science, but it gave me a starting place and focus.
