Meaning-based strategies contrasting, recurrent, embedded, active, and meaningful (CREAM). Meaning that emphasis will be on the actual…

1. The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) refers to an aspect of Lev Vygotsky's sociocultural theory. ZPD is a term used to describe the distance between what a learner can do on their own and what they can do with assistance.

He used sight and touch, which are two of the five senses. Lev Vygotsky created the zone of proximal development (ZPD) (Mandich, 2016). The four stages imply that the individual will need assistant by others and then by him, the skill goes to automatic habit formation, and finally the skill becomes acquired.…

Introduction When teachers think about teaching reading, they are faced with many challenges. Not only are there hundreds of different programs and strategies to incorporate into lessons, but also teachers always encounter a diverse population of reading students. There are students who are ‘natural’ readers who can pick up a book and enjoy it for hours. Then there some students that will do everything they can to avoid reading or even looking at a book. It is a teacher’s job to find a way to…

The theories of children’s cognitive development are demonstrated by Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky.

Meanwhile, Vygotsky suggests the cognitive development of children is by working together and learning from other people. He emphasizes the importance of socio-cultural impacts…
