What are text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connections in reading?

How can students make connections while reading The Raft by Jim LaMarche?

Students can make connections by identifying moments in The Raft that remind them of other books, their own lives, or real-world events. They can use a T-chart to organize these text-to-text, text-to-self, and text-to-world connections and illustrate each with scenes or descriptions.

Why is making connections an important reading skill for elementary students?

Making connections helps students understand and relate to texts more deeply. It boosts comprehension, engagement, and critical thinking by linking new information to what students already know or have experienced.

What is a simple activity to teach text connections using The Raft?

Teachers can ask students to create a storyboard or T-chart. On one side, students list events from The Raft; on the other, they write or draw their text-to-text, text-to-self, or text-to-world connections, explaining each briefly.

Can you give an example of a text-to-self connection with The Raft?

For example, if Nicky in The Raft didn't want to visit his grandma, a student might connect this to a time they also felt unsure about visiting a family member, making the story feel more personal and relatable.
