Our Reading Block focus is on making meaningful connections to the texts we read. Good readers connect to the big ideas / lessons is the story rather than the small details. For example: connecting with the way a character felt after being teased versus connecting to the idea that you too have a red sweater like the main character gives a reader a deeper understanding of the author’s message. These deeper connections help us better understand the texts we read, and therefore, make us better readers! I encourage the boys and girls to try and make meaningful connections when doing their nightly reading at home!
Types of Connections we Make:
- Text-To-Self
- Text-To-Text
- Text-To-World
- Text-To-Faith
