Conferencing involves having unscripted, casual yet purposeful conversations with students about the books they are reading to reinforce reading strategies and skills. The goals are to support students' understanding and fluency, teach readers rather than texts, and help readers become better overall rather than just with one book. Teachers take on roles as listeners, guides, and problem solvers to gather information about students' reading levels, groupings, and needed strategies or skills while ensuring discussions are balanced between student and teacher talk.

Independent Reading in the Primary Classroom
This document provides guidance for implementing independent reading in a balanced literacy classroom. It discusses replacing unstructured silent reading time with more organized independent reading that includes teacher instruction, student choice of texts, and reading strategies. Students need ample time and practice to develop reading skills and achieve based on research showing a relationship between volume of reading and achievement. The document offers tips for setting up a print-rich classroom environment conducive to independent reading with a well-stocked library, comfortable seating, and clear routines and expectations.
What is an interactive read aloud
The document describes interactive read alouds, which involve a teacher reading aloud to students while modeling comprehension strategies. The teacher stops periodically to ask text-dependent questions and engage students in discussions about the text. Done effectively, interactive read alouds help build students' listening comprehension and prepare them for independent reading. The document outlines how to plan and conduct an interactive read aloud, including choosing an engaging text, determining objectives, and using discussion questions to promote student participation and understanding.
Think alouds
The think-aloud strategy involves teachers modeling their thinking process aloud while reading to demonstrate how skilled readers comprehend text. When using think-alouds, teachers verbalize their thoughts, questions, predictions, mental images, connections to prior knowledge, and strategies for overcoming obstacles. This allows students to learn how to monitor their own comprehension. Think-alouds are an effective way for teachers to diagnose students' strengths and weaknesses and for students to gradually internalize self-monitoring of their thinking.
Interactive read aloud
This document outlines an agenda for a professional development meeting on interactive read alouds. The purpose is to help teachers identify elements of successful interactive read alouds, analyze their current practices, and engage in collaborative discussion.

For emergent learners, read alouds are important to understand book structure and purpose. For beginning learners, thinking aloud guides students to focus on important details.
Encouraging Critical Literacy
The document discusses encouraging critical literacy in students. It defines what it means to be a critical reader as actively engaging with text, understanding an author's ideas, analyzing and questioning arguments, reading between the lines, and developing one's own opinion. The goals of critical literacy are to understand a text's voice and persuasiveness, be willing to engage with what is read, recognize an author's purpose and bias. Frequently used comprehension assessments like multiple choice and true/false questions are deemed not challenging or fun as they do not encourage active reading. Active reading enables students to interact with and discuss their opinions about a text.

- 5. 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
