A wonderful young first grade teacher in  my building is in a grad  school 
program. She has a research paper to do on teaching comprehension  strategies. 
Her professor wants her to look at/discuss what kinds of  "instructional 
methods" are used to teach comprehension strategies.
 
Her question is this: 
Which of the following instructional practices can be/are considered  
"instructional methods?"
   Reciprocal teaching? Modeling? Scaffolding? Read  Aloud? Shared Reading? 
Guided Reading? DRTA? Any others????  Is there a  technical difference between 
an instructional method and an instructional  practice when it comes to 
teaching  STW/Mosaic comprehension  strategies???
 
I would really love to help this new teacher, and am thrilled that her  
professor is focusing on STW/Mosaic research.  Please advise! Thanks so  much!
