I, too, am in a program where we focus on teaching strategies. What I've 
found is that these methods ARE practices, since a good literacy specialist 
should be modeling and scaffolding for such practices as Read/Think aloud, 
pair share, guided reading. The methods are more what the teacher builds 
theory on and the practices are the modeling and explicit instruction of how 
to use these strategies. Some other strategies are: Questioning, Analyzing, 
Inferring, etc.
