Understanding the Reading Process
 Reading is an active, fluent process which involves the
reader and the reading material in building meaning.
 Meaning doesn’t reside solely on the printed page or on
the reader’s head.
 The process of reading combines the words on the
printed page with the reader’s background knowledge
and experiences.
(Neil Anderson,1999)
Schema Theory
 According to the schema theory, reading
comprehension is an interactive process between
the text and the reader’s background knowledge.
 Reading comprehension involves one’s knowledge
of the world, which may be culturally based and
culturally biased.
(Patricia Carrell, 1983)
What Is Background Knowledge?
 It is the information, knowledge, emotion,
experience, and culture that the reader brings to the
text.
 New information, new concepts, new ideas, can
have meaning only when they can be related to
something the individual already knows (Kant).
What background knowledge do you need to understand
the text’s implied meaning?
Types of background knowledge
 Content: General and specific information about
something
 Formal: Genres, style, format, vocabulary
 Linguistic: Necessary knowledge to decode a
message written in any given language and
understand how words are organized in
sentences.
Read this passage. Think about the answers to the
questions below:
• How old is Jane?
• How old is Jack?
• What leads you to your answer?
• What sound did Jane expect to hear when she shook her piggy bank?
• What if it is filled with bills and not coins?
What’s the role of background knowledge in our understanding of
texts?
Jane was invited to Jack’s birthday party. She
wondered if he would like a kite. She went to her
room and shook her piggy bank. It made no sound.
