You're very welcome.
Text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world are three reading comprehension strategies that help readers make connections between a text and other texts, their personal experiences, and the world.
1. Text-to-text:
Text-to-text connection involves making connections between the current text and other texts (books, articles, poems, etc.) that the reader has read before. It can be used to find similarities or differences, identify recurring themes or motifs, or enhance understanding of a particular topic. By connecting different texts, readers can deepen their comprehension and gain a broader perspective.
To make a text-to-text connection, you can:
- Recall prior knowledge of similar or related texts.
- Compare and contrast characters, events, themes, or writing styles.
- Identify shared motifs or symbols.
- Analyze how different authors address similar issues.
2. Text-to-self:
Text-to-self connection involves relating the text to your own experiences, thoughts, and emotions. It allows readers to establish a personal connection with the content and empathize with the characters or situations in the text. By connecting the text to your own life, you can better understand the story, make predictions, and explore personal reactions.
To make a text-to-self connection, you can:
- Reflect on similar experiences or situations you have encountered.
- Connect with the emotions, thoughts, or beliefs of the characters.
- Relate the themes or messages of the text to your own life.
3. Text-to-world:
Text-to-world connection involves relating the text to real-world events, issues, or knowledge. It helps readers understand how the text relates to the larger context of society, history, culture, or global events. Text-to-world connections broaden the reader's perspective and critical thinking skills.
To make a text-to-world connection, you can:
- Consider how events or issues in the text reflect or relate to real-world events.
- Connect the themes or messages of the text to societal or cultural aspects.
- Analyze how the text portrays historical or political contexts.
By employing these three strategies, readers engage actively with the text, enhance their understanding, and deepen their overall comprehension. These connections can also provide a framework for discussion and analysis of literature.
