Connecting to prior knowledge involves making associations. Good readers are active in constructing meaning through the process of interacting with what they read and connecting this knowledge with what they already know (Anderson, Herbert, Scott, & Wilkerson, 1985). These connections, or associations, help to elucidate meaning and deepen comprehension.
