Literacy Instruction for Talented Readers

Literacy Instruction for Talented Readers

When young talented readers are reading several grade levels above their peers, guided reading groups are unlikely to provide an adequately challenging environment. However, there are strategies available that can be used in conjunction with guided reading to provide instructional rigor. Based on the Schoolwide Enrichment Model Reading framework, specific examples of powerful texts, differentiated teaching strategies, and ideas for setting up a classroom environment that facilitates success will be provided. Participants will leave the session with practical methods and materials that can be used to strengthen existing reading programs, and provide powerful differentiation for talented readers.
