Hmmm...so perhaps the error in delivery could come from teachers who are not
readers themselves? When I looped 3/4, obviously I moved forward and
deeper...had some seriously gifted readers that year...still needed explicit
instruction when learning to infer theme from complex novels, etc. This was a
natural progression for me, but I know teachers this would not be natural
for...and they are NOT readers...so natural for some, not for others. Just
sayin'
