Question
HI
I am a teacher
which is easier to learn reading throuth is it construtive or analysis?
Answer
Hi, I am providing you with an article with plenty of research studies that indicate the research based methods and activities that may work based on constructivist and other theories. My experience is that the evidence based method that is used must be individualized, selected purposefully, delivered with fidelity, and evaluated frequently. So, my answer to your question is: it depends on the individual child and the activities or methods selected.

If you already don't know about Florida Center for Reading Research, What Works Clearinghouse, Center for Research and Learning at University of Kansas, and www.interventioncentral.org, check these out for scientifically based practices in reading, and great ideas for the classroom.
Thanks for writing!
