USING YOUR SCHEMA AND MAKING CONNECTIONS

WHAT IS A SCHEMA?

Using your schema means thinking about what you already know, what is already inside your brain.  When we teach our students to use their schema, it gets them excited about reading and learning and helps build their comprehension, making it easier for them to understand text.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Making personal connections with the text by using schema (background knowledge) is what all good reader's do.  There are three main types of connections we make while reading text.Text-to-Self (T-S) refers to connections made between the text and the reader's personal experience.Text-to-Text (T-T) refers to connections made between a text being read to a text that was previously read.Text-to-World (T-W) refers to connections made between a text being read and something that occurs in the world.

It is important to activate a reader's schema (background knowledge) before, during, and after reading.
