I hope I am doing this correctly. One thing I am trying is letting 2 students each day read the newspaper and give the 9:35 news in class. It does get them reading for content. Usually, they give headlines, weather, and sports in about 5 minutes. The rest of the students are on computers working on individual work and stop for the 'news'.
I also am teaching my students how to use text features to find information in text books quickly-table of contents, index, glossary, appendices, bolded words and subheadings, etc.
