Answer:

What?

Students make connections to read-aloud texts by relating the text to themselves (lived experiences), to other texts (read in any setting) and to the world (current and historical events)

When?

During and after reading

Why?

Making connections allows students to monitor their understanding and relate learning to their own lived experiences. The strategy enhances meta-cognitive skills and deeply engages students in the reading experience, improving comprehension.

How?

Select a Perspectives text or passage to read aloud. Display it in a visible location.

Create a list of personal connections you will model while reading the text.

Introduce the three types of connections: text-to-self, text-to-text and text-to-world.

Read the text aloud. Use the Think Aloud strategy to model one of the three types of connections. Emphasize connections that add to the understanding of this particular text. Explain why some of those connections aid understanding of the text better than others.

Prompt students to make their own connections through the use of guiding questions:

Text-to-Self: A connection between the text and something in your own life experience

Text-to-Text: A connection between the text and another story or text that you have read previously.

Text-to-World: A connection between the text and something that is occurring or has occurred in the world.

It is important to understand that all information will have a certain degree of validity or otherwise. A document can be easily forged or altered, especially on the internet where anybody can publish anything. It is therefore necessary to use judgement when deciding which documents to use in the context of your study.

krystalreigngalano WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE TEACHING THE MAKING CONNECTIONS READING STRATEGY:

Making connections is a critical reading comprehension strategy that helps students make meaning of what they are reading. When students make connections to the texts that they are reading, it helps them to make sense of what they read, retain the information better, and engage more with the text itself.
Students can make connections between:

the text and another text

the text and the world around them

TEXT-TO-SELF CONNECTIONS:
These are connections where students connect what they are reading to personal experiences or knowledge. Students with a wide range of experiences will often be able to make more insightful and complex connections. Students with more limited experiences may struggle to make connections or create vague, general connections.

TEXT-TO-TEXT CONNECTIONS
These connections

krystalreigngalano TEXT-TO-TEXT CONNECTIONS
These connections are made when a student can connect what they are reading to other books that they have read or listened to before. They may make connections that show how the books share the same author, have similar characters, events, or settings, are the same genre, or are on the same topic. A solid text to text connection occurs when a student is able to apply what they’ve read from one text to another text.
Example of Text to Text:

krystalreigngalano Example of Text to Text: “I read another book about spiders that explained that spiders have venom and in this book, I am learning about the top 10 dangerous spiders of the world.”

krystalreigngalano TEXT-TO-WORLD CONNECTIONS
These are connections where students connect what they are reading to real events (past of present), social issues, other people, and happenings going on in the world. Students learn about the world from what they hear on TV, movies, magazines, and newspapers. Effective text to world connections happen when students can use what they have learned through these mediums to enhance their understanding of the text that they are reading.
Example of Text to World:
