Making Connections

Readers create connections to make text personally relevant and useful.

Strategic readers stick new information in short and long term memory by hooking old information with new information.

Strategic readers connect rapidly with text.

Making connections happens before reading, during reading and after reading.

Making connections allows readers to become active readers that remember what they have read.

Making connections allows readers to ask questions that foster a deeper understanding of text.

Reading & Writing Connection “Connecting text is an essential academic move because it is only when a writer has both a masterful control of ideas already circulating on a subject and the ability to logically connect those ideas that anything new or useful about the topic can be added and knowledge can be created.” Indiana University South Bend www.iusb.edu

Reading & Writing Connection

“All academic writing is part of a conversation between what has previously been written about a topic and your unique contribution to the conversation, so learning to choose the parts of texts you will put together and learning how to define the nature of those connections can help you develop the habits of mind that can enhance your critical and creative thinking skills.”
