     I have been assigned to a COE (Creating Opportunities for
Excellence) committee on Improving Reading for high school students.
I think the targeted skill here is not to get them to read more but
to get them to read better (although for many there  is a definite
correlation between the two.) I have been reading the posts
concerning AR and EBS programs  with interest - our school has
neither of these, although two years ago, I tried to implement the
EBS program; I was unable to get the English department to consider
these even though our elementary and middle schools have it and love
it.
     Have your schools had any success in improving the reading
skills of your high school students? If so, HELP! Are there any
professional journals which I could consult? Thanks in advance! Judy

     P.S. Nearly 30% of our student population is Hispanic, but I
don't think that really figured into the reason this was a targeted
skill. We have an ESL class in effect  already ...
