[LM_NET] TARGET: reading incentive programs for low-achieving high school males

["Elaine M. McDonald" <emcdonald@MUNCIE.K12.IN.US>]

I am a first-year library media specialist at a low-income high school
with 1100 students.  My principal has requested that I develop some type
of reading incentive program for our lowest-achieving students.  A
substantial percentage of those students are African American males.
The group of students needing our help the most is small enough (about
80 students) to allow us to work with them individually.  The principal
is willing to provide some funding for material incentives.  I would
appreciate hearing about any programs that will help me get these
students into the library and reading.  Suggestions for books and
magazines would also be helpful.
