Each student gets an hour once a week with a reading tutor. They can read anything during that hour and discuss it with the tutor. Even if they are "good" readers this will help expand their base and introduce them to the value of reading for its own sake.

These sessions could have a financial sponsor to offset the cost and avoid sticking the school board with it.

Now I know that any policy that "compels" reading is going to make this activity seem like "punishment" and students who are not interested in reading will avoid it. So it will be hard to do.
