-## Replacing Store methods that deal with DS.Model
+## Adding store methods for manipulating records 
+
+Currently there exist methods on DS.Model that call into `internalModel` for it's functionality. In order for a parallel implementation
+to be possible, we need to expose that functionality through public methods on the store.
 
 ```ts
 class Store {
-  // deprecate
-  scheduleSave(model: DS.Model): Promise
-  reload(model: DS.Model): Promise
-  relationshipReferenceFor(model: DS.Model): Reference
-  
-  
-  // replace with 
-  scheduleSave(identifier: RecordIdentifier): Promise
-  reload(identifier: RecordIdentifier): Promise
-  relationshipReferenceFor(identifier: RecordIdentifier): Reference
+  saveRecord(record): Promise // equivalent of currently doing record.save()
+  serializeRecord(record): any // equivalent of currently doing record.serialize()
+  relationshipReferenceFor(identifier: RecordIdentifier, key: string): RelationshipReference
+}
+```
+
+this would allow you to have a custom model class like this: 
+
+```ts
+class CustomModel {
+  save() {
+    return this._store.saveRecord(this);
+  }
 }
 ```
