"Joyful Reading" offers teachers a differentiated instructional
approach for motivating students at varied levels to discover the
rewards and delights of reading appropriately challenging books.
Authored by Sally M. Reis, an acclaimed scholar of gifted and
talented education, the book describes the Schoolwide Enrichment
Model for Reading (SEM-R), an easy-to-implement program that
encourages students to read independently for a period of time
during the school day on books of their own choice while supporting
them in learning comprehension strategies. The program includes
three phases:
- a Book Hook component in which the teacher reads aloud from a
high-interest book while engaging the class in critical thinking
responses
- a Supported Independent Reading component in which students are
encouraged to select and read progressively challenging books while
the teacher offers instruction through individualized
confer-ences
- a Special Interest component in which students engage in
reading-enrichment activities The SEM-R program has been shown by
research to improve students' fluency and comprehension as well as
their attitudes toward reading and is praised by teachers for
getting students excited about books. The book includes a DVD
showing teachers using the program. A companion book, "The Joyful
Reading Resource Kit," is also available.
