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.

When students own their learning, they learn to think outside the box.

Goal: teach transition words

a. Write sentence 1 w/ a transition
b. Write sent 2 w/ a different trans but connected to Sent 1
c. Provide Ss w/ an opportunity to practice

Instead of teaching trans @ the paragraph level, 1st teach sent-sent transition
