CONNECT THROUGH WARM-UP
FOR THE LAST TWO DAYS, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT MAKING CONNECTIONS WHILE WE READ TO HELP US THINK MORE DEEPLY ABOUT OUR READING. WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT TEXT-TO-SELF CONNECTIONS AND TEXT-TO-TEXT CONNECTIONS.

By Eve Bunting
Let's Meet the Author
Teachable Moments....
Today I am going to teach you another connection readers make while reading. It is called text-to-world connections. Who has a prediction about the type of connection this is?
