 * ====//Time// - 50% of time, students "doing" reading & writing====
 * ====//Texts// - rich supply & variety of books provided, "appropriate complexity"; steady diet of books students can successfully read and some to challenge as well====
 * ====//Teaching// - "active instruction" -- modeling and demonstration of the useful strategies good readers employ rather than the worksheet or commercial package approach====
 * ====//Talk// - fostering much more student talk, both teacher/student and student/student; encouraging, modeling, supporting lots of purposeful talk across the school day--problem-posing, problem-solving, talk related to curricular topics.====
 * ====//Tasks// - work completed is more substantive and challenging, requires more self-regulation than work has been commonly observed; greater use of longer, more sustained assignments, rather than filling the day with multiple, disconnected shorter tasks; "managed choice" for students evident in classrooms====
 * ====//Testing// - exemplary teachers evaluated student work and awarded grades based more on effort and improvement rather than just achievement; teachers truly know their students well in order to address students' literacy needs====
