Kristin, In the upper grades, I have found it takes 40 minutes to run one guided reading group, never mind two. As far as the conferencing goes, maybe they could conference 2 days and take a guided reading group 3 days? I know that's a compromise. Redbrick Publishers makes fantastic high interest, low readability books on a variety of current topics. The High Five collection is their high interest-low readability product. Check out their website www.redbricklearning.com and search for the High Five collection.
Good luck.
