1. Learning takes place through internal mechanisms that are often unobservable to the viewer
(internal thought processes).
2. Learning often results from a hypothesis-testing experience by the individual (making a guess,
trial and error).
3. Learning results from inferencing (filling in the meaning gaps, reading between the lines)

Thematic instruction
a form of instruction that is integrated through the use of a unifying concept or theme
“Literacy becomes meaningful when it is consciously embedded into the study of themes and
content subject areas” (Tracey & Morrow, 2011, p. 69 ).
Three types of thematic units
1. Organized around a literacy genre or a particular author (ex. Author study, fairytales)
2. A theme with a social studies or science thrust (ex. dinosaurs, government)
3. Use of a science or social studies topic and with literacy consciously integrated into all content
area lessons including music, art, math, social studies, and science
