The information in your head is a powerful resource when reading text. -adapted from Chris Tovani, 2000
Open Your Brain! • You have something in common with the text! • Take all of your life experiences and bring it into the text in front of you.
3 Ways to “HOOK UP” with text! • Text to Self • Text to Text • Text to World
Text to Self Connections (TTS) That reminds me of… That made me think of the time… I can relate….
Text to Text Connections (TTT) This part is just like… That reminds me of… I read another book where… This is similar to…
Text to World Connections (TTW) That reminds me of… This is like… I know about this… but I didn’t know that.
Let’s Try It! • NOTE TO TEACHER: Go to the Reading wiki: http://kmsreading.pbwiki.com/Connecting and select one of the texts to use. (Math teachers, you could paste in some word problemsthat students could connect to.) You model some connections, and then have the students make some as they read.
“The purpose of making connections is to enhance understanding not derail it.” Does Any Connection Count? “There is nothing wrong with indulging a distracting connection for a moment. The problem is continuing to read while doing it.” -Harvey & Goudvis, 2007 -Harvey & Goudvis, 2007
