In one word; experiences. These experiences come from life such as a visit to farm to pick strawberries, a field trip to a museum or reading a variety of good literature.\u00a0 The more background knowledge a child has acquired, the easier it is for him\/her to make connections to reading.<\/p>\n<p>I myself have scheduled a bargain, background knowledge trip for my family. We are taking the train into Chicago on a day where kids ride for free. We will visit the Shedd Aquarium on a \u2018free community day\u2019. We will bring a lunch and have a picnic outside in the park. The truth of the matter is my girls will get as much background knowledge experience from the journey itself as opposed\u00a0to the destination. The most valuable thing to do is to question, talk to and engage your youngster as much as they will have it! Enjoy your summer building all that important background knowledge for your kids, whether they are in single digits or double digits!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBackground knowledge is like VELCRO!
