Schema Activation: Predicting Content

This session will focus on Schema Activation, introducing students to practical ways to activate relevant background knowledge before reading by using the cover, title, illustrations, and what they already know to make reasonable predictions about the content and how the story may unfold. During reading, students will use techniques such as scanning and skimming to check and adjust their predictions, gradually developing an active reading habit of predicting, reading, and checking.
