Reading is one of the important links in English teaching, and it is the fundamental way for students to accept texts, acquire knowledge and exchange ideas. Schema theory refers to the use of different schemas such as form, content and language in reading teaching to help students activate the original schemas and create new ones, so as to realize the transition from passive acceptance and perception of text information to independent reorganization of text information, improve reading efficiency and further enhance students’ comprehensive ability of reading comprehension. This paper will use the schema theory, combined with the characteristics of reading teaching in junior school English teaching, to study the application of the schema theory in the middle school English reading teaching, in order to cultivate students' interest in English reading and improve their English reading ability.
