Reference: https://lfapa.com/november-newsletter/ January 16, 2021 Making connections is the process of linking what the students read, to what they already know. This strategy helps students comprehend text, by activating their prior knowledge and making meaning of what they read. There are three (3) ways of making connections. a. Text-to-self answers the questions that aim to know the connection of the texts you’ve read to your personal life. For example: What does this remind me of in my life? How is this different from my life? How does this relate to my life? b. Text-to-text answers the questions that aim to know the connection of the previous texts you’ve read to the present one. For example: What does this remind me of in another book I've read? How is this text similar/ different to other things I've read? Have I read about something like this before? c. Text-to-world answers the questions that aim to know the connection of the texts you’ve read to the real world. For example: What does this remind me of in the real world? How is this book similar/ different to things that happen in the real world? How did that part relate to the world around me? Moreover, making connections between texts to particular social issues and concerns can also be done more elaborative and comprehensive through the use of different texts structures. Texts structure refers to how the information within a written text is organized. This strategy helps students understand that a text might present a main idea and details; a cause and then its effects; and/or different views of a topic.
