FAQ

What are the three types of text connections 2nd graders practice?

Text-to-self (how the text relates to my life), text-to-text (how it relates to another book I've read), and text-to-world (how it relates to the real world).

How do text connections improve reading comprehension?

Making connections activates prior knowledge, increases engagement, and helps students construct meaning by relating new information to what they already know.

What sentence stems help 2nd graders articulate their text connections?

Stems like 'This reminds me of...,' 'In another book I read...,' and 'This connects to the real world because...' scaffold students in expressing their connections clearly.
