Why? • Which sample best illustrates advanced literacy? Why?

  9. How does this apply to literature? • Modeling (someone who is literate walks you through it) • Structured Practice (once you’ve been told how, you do it yourself, getting help if you need it) • Exposure (you use it... a lot... and become better and better with it)
