Having strong #backgroundknowledge affects reading comprehension more than a student's actual reading skills. @Amplify @SoRclassroom👇
@Doug_Lemov @Cincinnati_Son @C_Hendrick @learningandtheb What I like about this example is that many people will THINK they understand this without realizing the disrespect that the manager showed the pitcher by not visiting the mound before signaling to the bullpen. #backgroundknowledge
#backgroundknowledge= knowledge-rich curriculum
“The knowledge required to read each new text should be made available to Ss through prior lessons and within the assignment itself.All Ss enabled are potential lively participants in the discussion of each new text.”@DTWillingham
New article from E. D. Hirsch and me on (1) the evidence for the importance of knowledge in reading; (2) why it’s taken so long for people to acknowledge the evidence; (3) what we predict if the role of knowledge is taken seriously. https://t.co/JJONYhQCxQ
Why does choosing a knowledge-building curriculum matter? Strong readers need knowledge not just skills. #backgroundknowledge #vocabulary
@natwexler @oliviajune82 @KnowledgeMatrs
It isn't always easy to tell if a curriculum truly builds knowledge--especially if it's been misleadingly labeled.
Please join me on a dive into one of those curricula: Benchmark Advance. @KnowledgeMatrs @karenvaites
The difference is important.

The Missing Piece in Close #Reading #Instruction: #BackgroundKnowledge
Observe w/ a knowledge lens: When Ss struggle w/ #closereading, ask whether students need support w/a strategy or w/ knowledge.

"...#Picturebooks are not just an entry point to literacy—they’re a child’s first curriculum." @rpondiscio
#Picturebooks & Dr. Keith Stanovich's #MatthewEffect: the #backgroundknowledge-rich feast on context, while the #backgroundknowledge-poor starve. ❤️
My latest Substack looks at the important role of picture books in building literacy, providing the background knowledge children need to make sense of more complex texts later on. Picture books are not just an entry point to literacy—they’re a child’s first curriculum.

I saw this advertisement walking back from lunch. #backgroundknowledge is called on everywhere. How do history lessons build it? Read this: https://t.co/KUkPsKvNgr
I started reading "Why Learning Fails & What to Do About It" by @AlexJQuigley this weekend. Very insightful! Especially for teachers. I am really enjoying it. #easyread #workingmemory #backgroundknowledge

#Conceptsorts introduce students to the #vocabulary of a new topic/text. Here, Ss are sorting animals into ‘vertebrates’ + ‘invertebrates,’ allowing me to see what #backgroundknowledge Ss already have before we start our science unit on Animals. @Glenburnie_ldsb @LimestoneDSB
Did you know #science instruction in grades K-5 is critical? Research says when children have #backgroundknowledge scores improve on #reading #writing assessments. I can help. One strategy is #science #interactivereadaloud or a #closeread . #Science and #literacy 1/2
💙📚 When students have #backgroundknowledge on a topic, they better comprehend what they read, even when tackling challenging texts independently.
