Schema By: Mrs. Hall

Research says that the most proficient readers activate their schema before, during, and after reading... 


 


 I believe that readers who activate their prior knowledge get PUMPED up before and during their reading.  Every time I challenge my students to think, talk, or write about their prior knowledge, they are much more excited to read their books!  Their curiosity is sparked.  Their minds are in gear...and their brain begins to automatically ask and answer questions during their reading.   I encourage you, at home, to challenge your students to activate their "Schema Files"!
