Thirty Days to Music Theroy
This is the theory book I'm using this year. It's not perfect but it's reproducible. I just give them a few days worth, hole-punched, and they clip it in. You can't play the guitar the whole class period anyway.
We do a little theory, a little note-reading, some chords and sometimes a little improv at the end of class using 12-bar blues and a simple open position minor pentatonic scale.
