Now to the second layer of meaning in comprehensive literacy instruction. Comprehensive literacy instruction relies on a sense of balance. Balance usually refers to a multifaceted approach to teaching. It includes such strategies as read/write aloud, shared reading/writing, guided reading/writing, and independent reading/writing. 

Describe each approach to reading/writing instruction, the role of each approach, and how to balance the different approaches in your teaching. Your paper should include three parts: What are the approaches to reading/writing instruction? What is the role of each approach? How do you (or would you) balance the different approaches in your teaching?
