Making connections

Making connections is joining information to make deeper understandings.

Text to self is where people connect the text to there own experiences: For example The Duck gave water to the horse, I was tired so my older brother got me water.

Text to text connections are when people compare the text they are reading to other similar texts. These texts could be book or visual texts such as a movie or TV programme: For example the Duck leads the Rat to the cave, In little red riding hood she take muffins to her grandma and a wolf tries to eat her. 

Text to world is when people connect what they are reading to things that really happens in the outside world: For example the Duck returned the food to the villagers, many people in the world if they lose money or food people return it.

Connections help the reader to understand what the book is about.
