It’s hard to read about a topic you don’t understand and building background knowledge is a research-supported strategy to increase reading comprehension. It also makes learning and reading more enjoyable and meaningful.

That was absolutely amazing! The quickness of how dark it got, the glow around the moon, the atmosphere. Truly remarkable! I’m so glad we were able to give Caden that experience! It truly did live up to the hype! #buildingbackgroundknowledge #theclevelandisdway

Scientists say “its crucial how much relevant knowledge a reader has to a text” to explain how comprehension works! Backyard knowledge for students is powerful & gives them confidence to absorb and retain new information! #vaughnsoakupthesun #buildingbackgroundknowledge 🧠

My 5th graders had a hands on "corn shucking" day. This was an introduction to an upcoming ELA Unit, Cultivating Natural Resources. We were all "ears" today in ELA. #5thgrade #virtuallearners #ELA #buildingbackgroundknowledge #getreadytoread #KCSRegion2 #KCSVirtual

We love having guest speakers in our classroom! Mrs Hopper has been to Egypt and made our CKLA studies and stories come alive. She shared pictures of the REAL things we studied and showed us what Egypt looks like today. 🇪🇬#buildingbackgroundknowledge @FultondaleElem @JEFCOED

On Tuesday, Ms. Naylor’s Kindergarten Navigators had fun with their Amplify lesson and read aloud, “Ring Around the Rosie!” Who else remembers playing this game and chanting the nursery rhyme as a kid? 🖐 💕
