All these elements connect to strength based approach because in every method I taught about how you can use your students' strength in order to teach them about literacy. For example, if a student's strength is looking at pictures to describe the story you could use this strength in order for them to read a story. I think it is important for the teacher to focus on the student's strengths therefore the student has the opportunity to succeed.
