**Strategy focus - Making Connections while we read. It is important that readers connect to the story they are reading. Text to self - is when they relate the story to something personal, Text to Text - is when the story reminds them of something that they have read before, Text to World - is when the story reminds them of something that has happened in our world. Share your connections while reading with your child!
