  18. Schema Theory and Reading Comprehension • Schemata – prior knowledge, experiences, conceptual understandings, attitudes, values, skills and procedures a reader brings to a reading situation. • The more we hear, see, read, or experience new information, the more we refine and expand existing schemata within our language system.
