Developing a Question
• Help your students see themselves as investigators collecting evidence:–Ask open-ended questions.–Tie answers back to the text.–Modeling is a Must!–Consider creative, offbeat
ideas a bonus.

The students have broadened their reading choices due to the fact that they have been introduced to all the genres, and many nonfiction and fiction books, that they may have never picked up.

Table Talk
I know the purpose of the SEM-R is to engage kids in reading appropriately challenging material, but how do I do that within Phase 1 with so many reluctant and remedial readers?

Table Talk
Every time I introduce a new book during Phase 1, five students seem to want to read it right away! What should I do? What about the students in my subsequent class periods?
![Page 62: SEM-R Elementary Chicago](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070316/555776d9d8b42ace7f8b554e/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)

Phase 2 is a time that the students can’t wait for. Being able to sit anywhere in the class, in any position that they want helps them to really dive deep into their reading.

Enjoy Reading
Enjoyable activities, “are not natural; they demand an effort that initially one is reluctant to make. But once the interaction starts to provide feedback to the person’s skills, it usually begins to be intrinsically rewarding”

What do we do with Amanda?
Every time I conference with Amanda she is reading the same simple book. However, she’s a really talented reader who deserves to be challenged!

In the beginning my kids looked at me as if I had two heads when I took the books away from them and told them that they were reading a book that was too easy for them.

Having them read out of their comfort zone (current reading level or lower) has proven to stretch their minds in ways that have amazed me. They have learned how to select books that are a challenge to them, and devour them, to only quickly get another that is on their reading list.

I’m concerned about my talented readers. Many have the ability to read at a college level, but I’m worried about adult content and fielding calls from alarmed parents. What can I do to avoid pitfalls and still find challenging, interestingbooks for my students?

Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is
but a single sentence.
If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself
felt at the end of the year.

Supporting Self-Regulation
• Suns and Clouds• Teacher moving around the classroom• Have students use post-its when they
have a question about a word• Students who are really struggling:
– Personal timer (10 minutes)– Listen to books on CD– Get up, get a drink, stretch

I chose to go to them for the conferences to help make them feel more comfortable, and keep them in their reading mode with the least interruption.

I know I need to differentiate my reading conferences, but I am also trying to get all my students to focus on theme as a literary element right now. Can I ask everybody the same questions, or do I need to come up with different questions for every student?

Individualizing and Differentiating Conferences
It is important to remember that not all students will need the same strategy instruction at the very same time, but that all students need some instruction if they are reading a book that is adequately challenging. For that reason, be sure that strategy instruction is integrated throughout conferences and differentiated to meet the needs of individual students.

wanting to know, to have projects that they can get excited about and work on over long periods of time,
to be stimulated to find things out on their own.”
