Schoolwide Enrichment Model Reading Framework

Based on research conducted by the National Research Center on the Gifted and Talented, this  guidebook presents a framework for increasing reading achievement, fluency and enjoyment. The Schoolwide Enrichment Model Reading Framework (SEM-R) focuses on enrichment for all students through engagement in challenging, self-selected reading, accompanied by instruction in higher-order thinking and strategy skills. A second core focus of the SEM-R is differentiating instruction and reading content, coupled with more challenging reading experiences and advanced opportunities for metacognition and self-regulated reading.  In detail chapters cover each of the three phases of the framework, implementation variations, organization strategies, the SEM-R coach and the appendices provide handouts, booklists, charts, and more.
