Literacy is like a gardener planting a seed. After the seed is planted the gardener still has to fertilize and water the seed for it to grow into a beautiful flower.
To add more layers to your metaphor, you can also think about how different seeds need different kinds of light, rain, temperature, etc. Thus, as a teacher, you have to know who needs what. And from a gardener's standpoint, it's often about trial and error! But, persistence and knowledge about those plants can also help.
