Title: Background Knowledge and the Magazine Reading Students Choose
Abstract: Can students read difficult but self-selected texts–and if so, how? In this article we describe what we learned about middle school students’ use of background knowledge and specific vocabulary from interviews and surveys in our longitudinal study of magazine reading habits. Then we discuss the implications of these findings for structuring independent reading opportunities and facilitating connections between students’ in– and out–of–school literacies.
