With Build a Connection in your literacy center, students will surely have fun while connecting their reading to their life experiences, other books they have read or listened to, and events and issues around them. You can make copies of the reproducible on card stock to create task cards. Model each type of connection before assigning it as center work. Assign, or have students chose, one type of connection from the chart (text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world). Students choose a sentence stem listed for that connection they've chosen and use it to help them write a connection. This is a modified menu from Laurie Westphal's awesome "Differentiating instruction with Menus for the Inclusive Classroom - Lang. Arts" book!
Feedback from teachers on this has been tremendous! Check this out and please don't forget to let me know how this is helpful to you. Thanks!
