You could use poetry. Lots of comprehension possibilities there and you could read it together in class but they could take it home and practice and do some interactions with the text. Short and reasonable lengths for copying???? I work with struggling 5th/6th graders and they also love poems for two voices - check out the You read to me, I'll read to you series. One focuses on fables, one fairy tales, one scary stories. The poetry and illustrations and the two voices just make it all fun and they don't seem to feel its too babyish. They practice and practice so it builds their decoding and fluency. Of course those aren't quite as rich for comprehension.
