Making text connections represents a fundamental reading comprehension strategy that enables students to deepen their understanding by linking new information to their prior knowledge, experiences, and other texts. Wayground's interactive video collection provides guided video lessons specifically designed to help students master the art of making meaningful connections while reading. These comprehensive resources feature embedded questions and comprehension checks that pause at strategic moments, allowing students to practice identifying text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections in real-time. The interactive format ensures students actively engage with the content rather than passively watching, developing critical thinking skills essential for advanced reading comprehension and analytical writing. Wayground supports educators with millions of teacher-created interactive video resources that can be easily searched and filtered to match specific learning objectives and standards alignment requirements. The platform's robust differentiation tools allow teachers to customize video lessons for diverse learning needs, adjusting pacing and question complexity to support both struggling readers and advanced students. Teachers can deploy these interactive videos through flexible digital formats during whole-class instruction, small group work, or independent practice sessions, making them ideal for planning targeted lessons, providing remediation for students who need additional support with connection-making strategies, and offering enrichment opportunities for learners ready to explore more sophisticated textual relationships. The comprehensive analytics and real-time feedback capabilities enable educators to monitor student progress and identify areas where additional skill reinforcement may be necessary.
