Hi Ginny, I saw your post on LatinTeach and I am REALLY glad you shared it here (one of the biggest drawbacks with LatinTeach is that everything is closed behind locked doors and also disappears where no one will ever see it again). The two examples you gave here are great, especially since the person who posted the originally question to LatinTeach was teaching the "hunt and peck" style of translation, instead of actually reading.
I thought you might be interested in another reading help approach I've been using, which is to "build" the sentences, so that students are always dealing with complete sentences, and watching them getting more and more complex, until we get with the seriously complex sentence that Latin is so fond of! I've been doing it in a slideshow format, so you can click through step by step and see it taking shape - I'm publishing a new example each day here at the Latin Via Fables blog (http://latinviafables.blogspot.com/) (it's fun to do because they have an illustration, too):
