How might a researcher balance practice effects in the following example? A researcher is interested in whether a particular reading curriculum is effective in improving reading skills in a population of 6th graders. The researcher wants to compare this specific curriculum that they developed to another popular curriculum developed by a competing researcher. He/she plans on giving the curriculum to the group of 6th graders over a 6 week period (to be administered once a day for 2 hours each). How might the researcher go about balancing practice effects in this hypothetical situation?
