Reading--Making Connections

We are currently learning how to make connections when reading.  The three types of connections are text to text, text to self, and text to world.

Text to text connections occur when a student can relate something from what they are currently reading to a book they have already read.

Text to self connections occur when students can relate an idea or event from what they are reading to something that has actually happened to them.

Text to world connections occur when students can relate an idea or event from literature to a real world event.

By making connections students can better comprehend what they are reading!
