 * Factors of Reading Comprehension
 * Top Down (starting with prior knowledge of content, culture, literacy, text, language, world, etc.) or Bottom Up (decoding from the symbols of language).
 * Vocabulary is in the "middle" of these methods--think "Mandarin-speaking martian".
 * Partner Activity: Disgruntled coach and optimist teacher.
 * Cognitively, humans learn where there attention is, so it is crucial to focus their attention to make the most of each text.
 * We can set students up for success by preparing students to recognize the vocabulary, syntax and diction we want them to notice.
