Question: What is the
effect of prior knowledge of a topic in reading?
Answer: “More prior
knowledge enhanced [reading] performance….” NM Yochom. 1986. P. 438.
Comment: The more you know about a topic, the better
you will comprehend it. Many research studies say the same thing. That makes
building topic knowledge before reading important, including a survey of the
chapter—title, sub-title, first and last paragraphs and first sentence of
intermediate paragraphs. RayS.

Bibliography of Research in the Teaching of English.” RK Durst and JD Marshall.
