What is background knowledge and how do we build it?
Background knowledge is an essential element to reading comprehension. What we know impacts what we understand.
We can increase understanding by building background knowledge through the use of multimedia, a wide range of reading on a topic, playing with words, and connecting ideas with analogies.
