Students will post their connection on the blog. Be sure to include the title of the book that you are reading.
As students are reading their "Just Right Books" at home, they should be thinking like a reader. What does that mean?
It means that readers are not just reading words, but doing much more to better understand what they are reading. Here are a few things that good readers do to become better readers.
1. MAKING CONNECTIONS
Children make personal connections with the text by using their schema. There are three main types of connections we can make during reading:
Text-to-Self: Refers to connections made between the text and the reader's personal experience.
Text-to-Text: Refers to connections made between a text being read to a text that was previously read.
Text-to-World: Refers to connections made between a text being read and something that occurs in the world.
