Let’s recall
What was our last discussion all about?
Making Connections
How do you do it?
Making Connections
• It is a critical reading comprehension strategy
that helps students make meaning of what hey
are reading.
• It is an aid to help you:
• make sense of what you are reading,
• retain the information better, and
• engage more to the text itself, yourself and the
world around you.
Text-to-text Connection
• These connections are made when a student can
connect what they are reading to other books that
they have read or songs that they have listened to
before.
• They make connections that shows how the books
share the same author, have similar characters,
events or settings, are of the same genre, or are on
the same topic.
• A solid text-to-text connection occurs when students
can apply what they’ve read from one text to
another text.
Text-to-Self Connection
Making connection
Text-to-self Connection

makes between a piece of reading material and the
reader’s own experience in life.

promote critical reading skills.

in order to construct meaning.
