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
