Help your students see themselves
as investigators collecting evidence:
• Ask open-ended questions.
• Tie answers back to the text.
• Modeling is a Must!

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.
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 emergent readers?

Type II Activities
Supported Independent Reading is

NOT sustained silent reading
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.
Students will . . .
• Enjoy reading books of their own selection
• Read appropriately challenging books
• Develop self-regulation skills for sustained independent
reading
• Have individualized reading instruction that is tailored to
each student’s needs
Phase 2 Goals

I know the purpose of Phase 2 is
engage students in independent
reading, but how do I manage
conferences that with so many
emergent readers?

Conclusion
I have seen gains in their fluency,
comprehension, as well as word skills.
It is truly amazing.
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”
	

 — Csikszentmihalyi, 1990
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.
!
~ Treatment Teacher
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.
—Horace Mann
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.
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.

Conferences
• The conversation varies in:
• Structure
• Tone
• Content
• Responses of students are at different levels
• Different strategies are used by the teacher

I am able to stretch their minds with the higher
level questions that I used in every conference.
I absolutely love the bookmarks, and placed
them on rings to use.
The one on one five minute conferences
are the best way for me to monitor each
child’s unique learning needs, and be able
to use strategies individually for each
student that benefits them the most.
The five minutes with each one has been a
favorite time for my students, and many
times I have had to cut them off.

burn books to kill
our civilization; 

we need only to leave
them unread for a

“We need students to get more deeply interested in
things, more involved in them, more engaged in 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.”
