Abstract

Reading is an important part of English teaching. Traditional English teaching has always on the basis of teaching new words, grammar and long and difficult sentences, however, it is necessary for us to carry out the reform and innovation of English teaching in order to change the ineffective way of English teaching. In this paper, three schema forms of schema theory are introduced into high school English reading teaching activities. It is hoped that schema theory can help students overcome difficulties in learning, improve the quality and speed of reading, stimulate their interest in learning, change the way from passive learning to active learning, and find a way in using schema to better help senior high school students improve their reading abilities.
