Especially helpful in reading nonfiction, readers should ask themselves what the know about a topic before reading. This is how we tap into our schema or prior knowledge to make connections to new learning. Encourage your child to ask, "What do I know about this topic?" before and during reading, then connect to new knowledge throughout the reading process. A great way to end a book or reading session is to ask, "What was the most interesting fact I learned?" and "What else do I want to know about this topic?"
