Chapter 6 in WK

The part in chapter 6 that I liked was about the KWL chart and how it is used. The quote I found most interesting was That's what comprehension really is: linking the unknown to the known." 

This part of the chapter tells us how we are supposed to do a KWL chart correctly. This quote goes perfectly with a chart like this because that's what it is doing. It is linking the unknown to the known and that is how students learn how to read. They learn to use personal experiences with books they are reading to help them make sense of what they are reading. If students can do this then they will enjoy their reading much more and maybe even have a good time doing it. If the KWL chart is used it activates their thinking and they also know a little bit about what the book might be about. Therefore, they our goal is to get them interested into the book and have them actually want to read the book, instead of just having too. Linking the known to the unknown doesn't have to be hard but we must do this in order to activate our students thinking as well as, hopefully, getting them to read more.
