What is it?
It’s unscripted
Casual, yet purposeful conversation
Different for each student and each book
Reinforce or teach strategies and skills to enhance reading

Purposes of Conferencing
Support the reader’s ability to process a text with understanding and fluency
Teach the reader, NOT THE TEXT
Help the reader become a better reader, not simply help them read the this book
Become a set of ears, a guide, a sounding board
Help the student solve problems

Balance it out
Click icon to add picture
Student talk and teacher talk should be balanced.
Don’t try to tell the student everything that you want them to know.
Be a good listener—What are they thinking? How can you help?
