This week we are focussing on Making Connections as a reading comprehension strategy. One popular way to make a connection is to consider how the text (story, article, etc.) is related to self, other texts, or the world. Check out this link for more information in preparation for tomorrow's class. We will be using the "Student Handout" to complete our work, so have a quick look at it too!
Making Connections
Making Connections is a strategy that is specifically supported within the Ontario Language Arts curriculum for grades 4, 5 and 6. The reading specific expectation 1.6 states that by the end of this grade students should "extend understanding of texts by con- necting the ideas in them to their own knowledge, experience, and insights, to other familiar texts, and to the world around them" (pg 83, 97, 112). We will be using this making connections strategy throughout our guided reading unit, as well as within other subjects throughout the year.
