Reading conferences are a great way to motivate students to read. Having one-on-one attention can really allow your students to open up to you and help you to get to know them better. This in turn will allow you to recommend books at your students' reading levels that would interest them. You can also introduce them to new genres that they have not tried reading before. Just having the chance to talk about the book that they are reading can help a child to complete the whole book and comprehend it better.
If you are new to reading conferences, then you may want to check out some of the videos found on the Daily Cafe at: http://www.thedailycafe.com/members/main.cfm. This website does require you to pay for access to some of its resources, but there is still a lot of free information on the site too. You should check out the site and if you like what you see, then consider becoming a member. Conferencing with students is a great way to see how they are progressing as readers.
