Making text connections forms a cornerstone of reading comprehension development for Grade 3 students, as young learners begin to understand how their personal experiences, prior knowledge, and other texts relate to what they read. Wayground's interactive video collection provides guided video lessons specifically designed to teach third-grade students how to make meaningful connections between texts and their own lives, other books they have encountered, and the broader world around them. These comprehensive resources feature embedded questions and comprehension checks that pause strategically throughout each lesson, allowing students to practice identifying text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections while receiving immediate feedback on their understanding. The interactive format ensures that students actively engage with connection-making strategies rather than passively consuming content, helping them develop critical thinking skills essential for deeper reading comprehension. Wayground's extensive library draws from millions of teacher-created interactive video resources, offering educators robust search and filtering capabilities to locate materials perfectly aligned with Grade 3 reading standards and individual classroom needs. The platform's differentiation tools enable teachers to customize interactive video experiences based on student reading levels and learning preferences, while flexible digital delivery formats accommodate various instructional settings from whole-class instruction to independent practice stations. These comprehensive features support educators in planning targeted lessons that address diverse learning needs, providing remediation for struggling readers who need additional scaffolding with connection-making strategies, and offering enrichment opportunities for advanced students ready to explore more complex textual relationships. The interactive video format proves particularly effective for reinforcing connection-making skills through repeated practice with varied texts and scenarios, ensuring students develop automaticity in applying these essential reading comprehension strategies.
