Abstract :Educators and researchers have suggested that the Schoolwide Enrichment Model for Reading (SEM-R) is an appropriate approach that helps in meeting their needs. SEM-R was developed from the general SEM model. It was designed to emphasize reading enjoyment and reading skill development (Reis et al., 2008). The SEM-R consists of three phases: (a) Phase I: Exposure, (b) Phase II: Supported Independent Reading, and (c) Phase III: Choice Components. Separate studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of the SEM-R on increasing gifted students’ reading fluency, achievement, and attitude toward reading. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to provide a brief literature review exploring the researched effects of the SEM-R on gifted students’ reading fluency, achievement, and attitude toward reading.
