Making Connections for Enhanced Reading Comprehension

This video tutorial focuses on improving reading comprehension by understanding metacognition and making connections. It explains how metacognition, or thinking about thinking, can enhance reading skills. The video introduces three types of connections: text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world, and demonstrates their application using a passage from 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. By making these connections, readers can better understand the text, its setting, and the characters' emotions, leading to deeper comprehension.
