This month in our reading we're working on making connections to the text we are reading. These texts can be to our own lives, to another book/movie/song, or to some background knowledge we have. Connecting when reading is an important comprehension strategy that allows readers to make personal connections to the text. It can involves relating the content of the text to the reader's own experiences, thoughts, and emotions which helps to deepen the reader's understanding of the text and make it more meaningful. Connecting when reading also allows readers to engage with the text on a more personal level, making it a more enjoyable experience. The students have been using sticky notes to mark where they made their strongest connection in our class read-aloud, and they've loved sharing what that connection was with the rest of the class!
