Describe the importance of background knowledge and some strategies to build your background knowledge before reading

What will be an ideal response?


Recht and Leslie's (1988) study showed us that background knowledge on a subject matter mattered more than reading skills when it came to whether or not students understood what they read. To build your background knowledge, look at the table of contents, preview the chapter and read the chapter summaries before reading the chapter itself. You can also review your notes from previous lectures and readings and review other resources such as Power Point slides your professor has shared with you.
