When readers learn to CONNECT while they are reading...
~the story reminds them of something they have experienced
~their mind becomes flooded with memories
~they are making sense of the text in terms of events and people in their own lives
~they are able to weave the stories of their own lives and their place in the world into the pages of the stories they are reading
~they can make connections to pictures, plot, characters, and feelings in the story
~they most likely do so when reading books about real-life situations such as family, friendship, school, siblings, pets, vacations, favourite toys, etc.
Three Types of Connections:
*Text to Self ~ This part of the book reminds me of myself.
*Text to Text ~ This part of the book reminds me of another book.
*Text to World ~ This part of the book reminds me of connections that may also affect others in the world.
Two Kinds of Connections
*Quick Connections ~ I have a red dress. My Grandma wears glasses too.
*Deep Thinking Connections ~ Often feeling connections: This reminds me of the feeling I had when I had went on a vacation with my family. I felt so happy and excited!
