Making text connections represents a fundamental reading comprehension skill that enables Grade 7 students to deepen their understanding by linking new information to their prior knowledge, other texts, and real-world experiences. Wayground provides extensive reading comprehension resources focused on developing students' ability to make text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections through carefully crafted reading passages and text-based questions that promote critical thinking. These activities guide students through the process of identifying similarities between characters' experiences and their own lives, drawing parallels between different literary works, and connecting themes or issues in texts to broader societal contexts. The structured approach helps seventh-grade learners strengthen their analytical skills while building the foundational comprehension strategies necessary for academic success across all subject areas. Wayground supports educators in implementing effective text connection instruction through millions of teacher-created reading comprehension resources that can be easily searched and filtered by specific connection types and difficulty levels. The platform's robust standards alignment ensures that selected materials meet curriculum requirements while providing teachers with differentiation tools to customize reading passages and questions for diverse learning needs. Digital delivery formats allow for immediate feedback on student responses, enabling teachers to quickly identify which students successfully recognize textual relationships and which require additional support in making meaningful connections. These comprehensive capabilities empower educators to design targeted lesson plans, provide focused remediation for struggling readers, offer enrichment opportunities for advanced students, and systematically reinforce connection-making skills throughout the academic year.
