chapter summaries:
chp1.four aspects of literacy;
question of "if a person is literate" is relative to their environment. Teachers control literacy with they assignments.
Four aspects of literacy are important. Emergent literacy is the developing ability among
young children to read and write. Functional literacy is the ability to function within one’s envi-
ronment insofar as reading and writing are concerned. While this concept was once limited to

subbing system as a product of plumbob after development. Once we have a body of teachers and teacher candidates, we can start offering substitute system for schools.

BFFT- There is transactional writing and expressive writing. Transactional writing is meant to inform, instruct and persuade a particular audience or readership. Expressive writing is more of a free-flow writing and flurry of ideas for the writer. I'd say that expressive writing is meant to help the writer inform themselves and that transactional writing is aimed outward to inform others.

Nature of Words-
words are symbols for concepts. The reader brings meaning to these symbols with their own experience.
many concepts share the same word. we have to keep in mind context and learners cultural background and prior knowledge.

Myth that words teach themselves-
inductive approach to vocab learning is simple repetition and experience of what that word is, ex. the word 'book'

intro a word with definition and example, this is deductive. start from a general rule(a word/definition), and consider examples.
