Reading is complicated and deserves much reflection. Beliefs form the basis for action. What do students need to be successful? Sometimes tbe simplest answers are not in the students' best interests.

Beautiful post!

Thanks, Fran! I find each of these models helpful for different reasons. I love the idea from the simple view that reading is a product of the two factors—without one, it doesn’t matter. I love Scarborough’s visual of the strands of the rope woven together to show all of the parts that make a strong reader. And the active view’s contributions remind us of additional important aspects that can be easily forgotten.
