The single most important factor in students' literacy success is skillful, informed teaching.
Though a teacher may lean on a lesson to deliver instruction, the teacher is always the most critical factor in determining what a child can achieve in the classroom. No lesson plan or program will singlehandedly identify and impact a child’s achievement and progress. No matter how well a teacher plans and structures learning tasks, it is the teacher’s ability to make different decisions for different students at different times that informs the power and effectiveness of the instruction. The moment-to-moment instructional decisions teachers make based on their observations and analysis of children’s learning behaviors are significant. The teacher teaches the child, not the book or program.
