Making connections in reading serves as a fundamental comprehension strategy that transforms passive reading into active engagement with text. Wayground's extensive collection of English presentations provides educators with comprehensive resources designed to teach students how to forge meaningful links between their prior knowledge, personal experiences, and the content they encounter. These structured instruction materials utilize concept explanation and visual learning approaches to demonstrate how readers can connect text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world relationships. The presentations systematically guide students through the cognitive processes involved in making connections, helping them develop deeper understanding, enhanced retention, and improved analytical thinking skills that extend far beyond individual reading assignments. Wayground's platform empowers teachers with access to millions of teacher-created presentation resources specifically focused on reading comprehension strategies and connection-making techniques. The robust search and filtering system allows educators to locate presentations aligned with specific learning standards while accommodating diverse student needs through built-in differentiation and customization tools.

The platform's flexible delivery formats enable educators to present materials through interactive whiteboards, individual devices, or hybrid learning environments, ensuring that instruction in making connections can be effectively reinforced across multiple contexts and learning situations.
