Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the teacher´s theories about learning to read and reading instruction that claim to use in the classroom. To do this, we selected a total sample of 522 kindergarden and primary teachers in service who completed an attributional questionnaire across the tutorial program LETRA (www.programaletra.ull.es). The results showed that teachers attributed theories of learning to read with a sociocultural orientation lean more towards a mixed method, teachers who share a behavior approach consider that the repetition in your workouts and instruction is important to teach reading, are more inclined to use a syllabic method and mixed. Moreover, the results indicate that teachers who hold constructivist theory they select whole-language and mixed approaches for teaching reading to their students.
