    1. General Knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n

    It helps children in developing their knowledge about what is happening in the world. Its main advantage is that they can relate background knowledge<\/em> with the contextual one.<\/p>\n

    It is essential for understanding a normal language. The meaning of a word in the mind depends on the knowledge<\/em> and the background of the reader.<\/p>\n

    Reading is a good source of knowledge. It not only increases the meaning of words but also makes the comprehension easier to read.<\/p>\n\n\n

    2. Vocabulary knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Vocabulary<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    As already said, reading is the best source for knowledge. It is also a key to develop vocabulary skills of students. The more they read, the more they learn different words and how & where to use them.<\/p>\n

    Importance of prior knowledge in education<\/strong> can be understood . Background knowledge<\/em> enables the readers to have more options between multiple meanings of words.<\/p>\n\n\n

    3. Concept-based knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n

    \"Concept-based<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    Prior background knowledge<\/em> about a subject can also be taken by the means of conceptual understanding. Giving hands-on experiences is a great source for understanding concepts while reading<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    In other words, it takes students away from the classroom and brings them closer to the outside world. Discussions and engagement are also helpful in developing conceptual knowledge of students.<\/p>\n

    This helps in collecting different views and information about the world.<\/p>\n\n\n

    4. Knowledge from books<\/h3>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"Knowledge<\/figure><\/div>\n\n

    Many good books are filled with a lot of information which consist of deep meanings of the words and are filled with good amount of knowledge.<\/p>\n

    Background knowledge about the geographical settings of a place, history, political movements, religious and cultural environment of the world might not be learnt in the textbooks being taught in schools.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Even the languages used in these books make a huge difference in understanding the text.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Thus, parents play a vital role in providing prior knowledge<\/em> to their children. It is due to the fact that a child\u2019s education<\/em> starts at home and their parents are their first teachers. After parents, teachers play an important role in the learning<\/em> process of a child.<\/p>\n

    It is essential for them to understand, evaluate and analyze what the students already know about a topic.<\/p>\n

    It can be said that, \u201cWhat students already know about the content is one of the strongest pointers of how well they will learn new information related to the content\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Teachers can engage students in different activities which will help to understand their prior knowledge. This will also generate curiosity in them to learn and connect with the subject.<\/p>\n

    With background knowledge, it becomes easier to create learning<\/em> sessions for students which textbooks can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n\n\n
