"Background Knowledge: The Missing Piece of the Comprehension Puzzle" by Donald J. Leu explores the essential role that background knowledge plays in reading comprehension. The book emphasizes that effective understanding of texts relies not only on decoding skills but also on the reader's prior knowledge and experiences related to the content. Leu argues that educators must prioritize developing students' background knowledge to improve their comprehension skills. Through research findings, practical strategies, and insightful analysis, readers learn how to enhance learning environments and foster a deeper engagement with texts, ultimately aiding students in becoming more proficient and confident readers.
