Teaching Comprehension

DemonstrationComprehension Strategy:

Making Connections: Text-Text

Compare/Contrast

Making Connections: Text-Text

Making Connections:Definition

• Students can compare different versions of familiar stories, texts written by the same author, or texts that address a common theme or topic.

• When readers make text-text connections, they link the text or an element of it to another text they’ve read or to a familiar film or TV program.

Making ConnectionsKey Features

• Why is this strategy important?– Text-Text connections require higher level

thinking and can be difficult for students who have less experience with texts.

• Ways to teach:– Making Connections Charts – Drawing Connections Bridge– Code the Text
