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. Chapters cover each of the three phases of the framework implementation variations and organization strategies and the appendices provide handouts booklists charts and more.
