Making Connections is a reading comprehension strategy that enhances student understanding of the text. "Good Readers" naturally connect to what they are reading and this builds up their background knowledge as they gain information/make connections. We will be looking at text-to-text connections, text-to-self connections and text-to-world connections. Students are encouraged to make meaningful connections and to explain how it helps them understand what they are reading.
As part of the early writing process, students require the skills to write different types of sentences for longer writing pieces. We will break down the elements of a complete sentence and examine the four types of sentences including correct punctuation (declarative, imperative, interrogative, exclamatory). We will fix up fragments and run-on sentences as well. Students will be moving on to paragraph writing once the concept of a complete sentence is solidified.
