Steve,

I wrote a book on reading and Sugar which might be of some use:

and also:

I wish I had the resources described in this book when I was learning
French.  Project Gutenberg has some Jules Verne books that have never been
translated into English.  That would have been a better motivation to me
than anything my teachers actually tried.  (Not that I'm blaming my
teachers.  I was a terrible student).
