How does a teacher become an effective teacher?

The Models
1. Top Down Processing
  1. Stars with reader's purpose and thought processes and works down the smallest linguistic unit
  2. Language based and driven activity
2. Bottom up processing
  1. Starts with the smallest linguistic unit and moves up to meaning of line, sentence, paragraph, passage
  2. Visual motor activity that combines with linguistic knowledge
3. Interactive
  1. Use information in the domains of:
    1. Sensory
    2. Syntactic
      1. Language structure at the word
        sentence and text level
    3. Semantic
      1. Word meaning/associations
      2. Precision in word usage
    4. Pramatic
      1. Social construction of meaning
      2. Reading and writing for specific purposes
      3. Reading and writing with thinking habitually
