Description
Little research has been conducted on talented readers who are seldom challenged in their classrooms. Issues related to this population are discussed as is information about what currently happens to them in American classrooms. The special needs of this group are discussed, as well as, the specific differentiated strategies necessary to enable them to continue to progress in reading. The School-wide Enrichment Model in Reading, a research-based approach that challenges talented readers while also ensuring challenge and differentiated instruction is introduced in this session.
