Explore 7th Grade Making Connections in Reading Lessons

Making connections in reading for Grade 7 students represents a fundamental comprehension strategy that transforms passive reading into active, meaningful engagement with text. Wayground's comprehensive presentation collection delivers structured instruction through concept explanation and visual learning materials that guide seventh-grade students in developing their ability to form text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections. These presentations systematically break down the connection-making process, providing clear examples and guided practice opportunities that help students understand how their prior knowledge, experiences, and understanding of other texts can deepen their comprehension of new reading materials. The visual learning components within these presentations make abstract thinking processes concrete, enabling students to see how skilled readers actively engage with text by drawing meaningful relationships between what they read and what they already know. Wayground's platform empowers teachers with access to millions of teacher-created presentation resources specifically designed to support reading comprehension instruction at the seventh-grade level. The robust search and filtering capabilities allow educators to locate presentations that align with curriculum standards and match their specific instructional needs for teaching connection-making strategies. Teachers can customize and differentiate these digital-first presentations to accommodate diverse learning styles and reading levels within their classrooms, ensuring that all students receive appropriate support in developing this critical comprehension skill. The flexible delivery formats enable seamless integration into various instructional contexts, from whole-group lessons to small-group interventions, supporting comprehensive lesson planning while providing targeted resources for both remediation and enrichment activities that reinforce students' ability to make meaningful connections during independent reading.
