I found that above statement reminded me the importance of effective teaching is an essential component to students’ learning and mastery for such important topics of reading, writing, and speaking. Successful literacy teachers are “knowledgeable about how students learn to read and write, understand how to teach literacy, and are able to respond to the needs of struggling students and those learning English as a new

Teachers must create opportunities where the students take the role of the educator and educate not only themselves but also their peers.
