Key concepts

3 concepts

  1. 1

    The KWL method is a reading strategy that involves a warm-up, reading, and cool-down period, similar to exercise.

  2. 2

    In the KWL chart, 'K' stands for what you know, 'W' stands for what you want to know, and 'L' stands for what you learned.

  3. 3

    Before reading, the 'Know' and 'Want to know' sections of the KWL chart help you warm up by activating prior knowledge and formulating questions, while the 'Learned' section serves as a cool-down to improve memory.
