Explore 3rd Grade Making Connections in Nonfiction Lessons

Making connections in nonfiction for Grade 3 students requires structured instruction that helps young readers understand how to relate new information to their prior knowledge, experiences, and other texts they have encountered. Wayground's comprehensive presentation collection focuses specifically on developing these critical reading comprehension skills through concept explanation and visual learning approaches. These presentations provide structured instruction that guides third-grade students through the process of identifying text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections while reading factual materials, helping them develop deeper understanding and retention of informational content. The visual learning components support students in recognizing patterns between their personal experiences and the factual information presented in nonfiction texts, while systematic concept explanation ensures that students grasp the fundamental strategies needed to become proficient at making meaningful connections during independent reading. Wayground's extensive library of millions of teacher-created presentation resources provides educators with robust search and filtering capabilities to locate Grade 3 nonfiction connection materials that align with specific learning standards and classroom objectives. Teachers can customize these presentations to differentiate instruction for diverse learning needs, incorporating additional visual supports or modifying content complexity to ensure all students can access the core concepts of making connections in nonfiction reading. The platform's flexible digital delivery formats enable seamless integration into various instructional settings, whether for whole-group concept introduction, small-group skill reinforcement, or individual remediation sessions. These comprehensive tools support teachers in planning systematic instruction that builds students' ability to connect nonfiction content to their background knowledge, while also providing enrichment opportunities for advanced learners to explore more sophisticated connection-making strategies across diverse informational texts.
