The boys and girls have been listening to stories and making connections. We have discussed the text to text connection. This is a connection that a child might make after listening to a story. The story characters, setting and problem may remind them of another text. We have made many text to self connections while listening to stories. The children will relate to a character or an event and it may remind them of something they have experienced. Have your child make connections when you are reading. You may want to share a text to self connection yourself. Enjoy making connections together!
