I was fortunate to hear Dr. Gay Levy speak yesterday in a workshop about her research with engagement. It was excellent. You may want to check out her findings and how the literacy class was set up. Her interventions for middle school were interventions with students that were not "engaged" with text. The intervention is to find out why they weren't engaged and get them engaged. Her findings could really change how many teachers are teaching in their classrooms and give us the next step. It really made sense. The amount of reading that 8th graders were doing was amazing. It is what I dream of seeing in our middle school classrooms. .

Now, do you know of any really good interventions that can be done in 3 40 minute blocks? Thats what I'm working with on a rotating schedule with my groups--I usually do strategies that can be used with their classroom reading, but anything else would help!
