Constructing Comprehension: The Contribution of Background Knowledge

Broadcast Thursday, Nov. 16, at 1 p.m. EST

Knowledge is the result of and the reason for building deep comprehension. The ability to acquire knowledge from text is dependent on accessing multiple sources, including lexical, linguistic, cultural, domain/background knowledge, and personal experiences.

In this session we'll focus on background knowledge and explore the evidence related to the what, why, and how of background knowledge—including activities for accessing, building, and connecting to what is most necessary to understand text.
