Produktbeschreibung
Background Knowledge as a tool for secondary school reading class provides opportunities for learners to relate acquired knowledge from experiences in their own world to what they read for effective comprehension. Relating background knowledge to events in the text makes reading an interesting experience for both teachers and learners.

As a result learners will be regarded competent readers.
