=**Learning To Read Approaches** =

__**Bottom-Up Approach Theory**__

 * Some professional educators believe that reaching is a bottom-up approach.
 * When a child is using a bottom-up approach (or part to whole process), they move from sounding out and identifying the meaning of words, then move on to understanding sentences, paragraphs then texts.

__**Top-Down Approach Theory**__

 * The opposite theory is the top-down approach where a child uses their knowledge and understanding of the world to the text.
 * It is an approach that looks at the text on the basis of prior content and language that the child may have with regard to that text.
