  1. Making Connections You can make connections in three ways…

  2. Making Connections • Text-to-self (TS) • Text-to-text (TT) • Text-to-World (TW) TS TT TW

  3. Text to Self • Something you’re reading might remind you of an experience you’ve had.

  4. Text to Text • One text can remind you of another text you have read or seen. For example, you read a story about a teen standing up for his beliefs and make connections to a song you’ve heard on the same theme.

  5. Text to World • You can connect what you read to something you read in the newspaper, or world events.

  6. Connections and opinions… • Use connections to support judgments or opinions about the text. For example, I made a TS connection with Jimmy in “The Nest”. My connection was that I felt the same way as him when my mom didn’t let me go on a camping trip. So, I know how angry and frustrated Jimmy felt.

  7. Why make connections? • Because it is an excellent reading strategy to understand what you’re reading. It helps the reader understand what is read. For example, when Jimmy’s dad asked Paul to “come see his tools”, I knew that he was a cool dad. I’ve met dads like him before. I connected with him and could “picture” him. When I “picture” him, I understand the story better.

  8. Assessment • You need to: • Make connections in three ways • Use connections to support judgments or opinions about the text • Explain how making connections helps the reader understand what is read
