​I read and I connect it to my life

I read and I connect it to what I read

I read and I connect it to the world

I learn when I connect

I enjoy when I connect

Life is to make connections

     When you view or read something, do you make connections? As you read, you may relate it to your own life experience, to the book you have read before and even to the happenings in the world.

      The brain is wired to connect new information with the old knowledge that is in the brain. Take all your life experiences even those outside of the classroom. You ask yourself, “Am I bringing meaning to the words to help me read better?” You make connections with a book, article, picture or movie that you have read or viewed.

Making Connections - Is a strategy that can assist you in making meaning from a text; something you have seen on TV, about how the information you are reading connects to other familiar text and the world works that goes far beyond your own personal experiences. -

You can connect your background knowledge to the text you are viewing. You can comprehend better when you actively think about and apply your knowledge of the book’s topic, your experiences, and the world around you.

​TEXT-TO-TEXT

​ Text-to-text is a connection between texts. Sometimes when reading, readers are reminded of other things that they have read, other books by the same author, stories from a similar genre, or perhaps on the same topic. These types of connections are text-to-text connections. Readers gain insight during reading by thinking about how the information they are reading connects to other familiar text. “This character has the same problem that I read about in a story last year,” would be an example of a text-to-text connection.

​

​Example: The ending of this story is the same from the story I read before.

​TEXT-TO-SELF

Text-to-self connections are highly personal connections that a reader makes between a piece of reading material and the reader’s own experiences or life. An example of a text-to-self connection might be, "This story reminds me of a vacation we took to my grandfather’s farm."

​

Example: I remember my high school days as I read this story

​TEXT-TO-WORLD

Text-to-world connections are the larger connections that a reader brings to a reading situation. We all have ideas about how the world works that goes far beyond our own personal experiences. We learn about things through television, movies, magazines, and newspapers. Often it is the text-to-world connections that teachers are trying to enhance when they teach lessons in science, social studies, and literature. An example of a text-to-world connection would be when a reader says, "I saw a program on television that talked about things described in this article."

​

Example: She read from the news that there is an increase number of individuals tested positive of COVID19.

​Make Connections by identifying if the lines from the different short stories and clips from the news is text-to-self, text-to-text or text-to-world.
