| Abstract | This paper reviews some aspects of the Reading process that are relevant in activating Pupils Schema. It also discusses how pupils’ schema could be activated through pre-reading activities and background knowledge/experience. The paper concludes by recommending in a step by step sample lesson plan, the need to guide pupils to have expectation for their reading and the need to constantly engage them in meaningful conversation, that is in consonance with what is about to be read and what is being read. All these would help to make reading comprehension lessons more enjoyable and meaningful. |
