SEM-R bookmarks are a FANTASTIC resource for any parent of a gifted child who wants to engage in meaningful conversations about books with their child!  So often we feel stuck asking questions like "What are you reading?" or "What's your book about?"  These bookmarks are organized in two levels--elementary (appropriate for gifted readers in 2nd or 3rd grade ) and middle (4th and 5th grade).   Each set is further organized into topics, themes, book genres, and story elements!  Go HOG WILD having great conversations about books with your kids!
