Explore Making Text Connections Lessons

Making text connections forms the foundation of deep reading comprehension, enabling students to link new information with their prior knowledge, other texts, and the broader world around them. These comprehensive presentations available through Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide structured instruction that guides learners through the three essential types of connections: text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world. Through carefully designed concept explanations and visual learning elements, these presentation resources help students develop critical thinking skills by demonstrating how personal experiences, previously read materials, and current events enhance understanding of new texts. The visual format supports diverse learning styles while breaking down complex comprehension strategies into manageable, sequential steps that students can apply across various reading contexts. Wayground's extensive collection includes millions of teacher-created presentations that specifically target connection-making skills, offering educators robust search and filtering capabilities to locate resources aligned with specific reading standards and curriculum requirements. Teachers can easily customize these presentations to match their students' reading levels and differentiate instruction for diverse learners, utilizing flexible digital delivery formats that adapt to both classroom and remote learning environments. The platform's comprehensive tools support educators in planning targeted lessons, providing remediation for struggling readers, and offering enrichment opportunities for advanced students, while built-in assessment features help track student progress in developing these essential comprehension strategies. These presentation resources serve as powerful instructional tools for reinforcing connection-making skills across multiple reading sessions and text types.
