Knowledge is information that we have digested and now understand. Knowledge is assembled from information resources. In connecting, analyzing, interpreting, and finding patterns within pieces of information, knowledge builds understanding. For the individual person, knowledge involves both understanding, and the ability to make use of data and information to answer questions, solve problems, and make decisions.

Fundamental to the comprehension of connected text is knowing the
meaning of the words used in that text. Accordingly the
more word meanings readers know the better they
will be able understand text that they can decode. They help to develop
and increase awareness.
We are often not aware of how much understanding of what we read comes from the knowledge we bring to the text. "Reading comprehension is ... the process of 'constructing meaning' from a text. Comprehension is a 'construction process' because it involves all of the elements of the reading process working together as a text is read to create a representation of the text in the reader's mind. "RR The more prior knowledge we have of the subject presented in a passage, the richer will be our understanding. Prior knowledge of a subject forms a framework (schema) into which additional ideas can be assimilated and remembered.
A reader's comprehension of a passage will be increased if information about the subject content is talked about prior to reading - with two aims in mind:
Every day write down one new vocabulary word or concept that you learn and study the meaning of it.
Think about the word in relation to YOU and not someone else.
