The article outlines how prior knowledge supports comprehension and outlines five research-based and practical principles to build knowledge networks: big ideas, word knowledge, using multiple genres, distributed review, and intentional opportunities for language engagement.

We must build background knowledge along with development of phonemic awareness and vocabulary. Excellent strategies beginning with understanding the Big Idea, and also using psychological principles of learning including distributed practice. As students come into classes with different backgrounds, experiences, language opportunities, it truly behooves educators to make this work a TOP priority!
I love the Marine Animal card and can see much potential here. Thank you for sharing.
