Making Connections

The students have been focusing on making connections when reading. This is a strategy all readers (including adults) often use. Students are learning that when they read a book it may sometimes make them think of another book. This is called making a text-to-text connection. Often when we read, it makes us think of something in our own life. This type of connection is called text-to-self. Finally, there are also text-to-world connections that readers make when the book they are reading makes them think of the world around them. Use the picture below and see how well your child can remember some of the connections we made in class.
