Making Connections while Reading: This bundle contains multiple resources for teaching students how to make connections while reading. Four types of connections are introduced: text-to-self, text-to-text, text-to-media, and text-to-world.

This bundle includes:
1. A 50-slide PowerPoint
2. A 5-page matching PowerPoint Companion Handout
3. A Connections Craftivity
4. Four Connection Posters
5. Partner Plays (a set of 5 scripts)
6. Practice Passages (a set of 4 passages that can be used as practice worksheets or an assessment)

In the PowerPoint, I really stress the importance of writing DEEP connections rather than surface connections. Several examples of both deep connections and surface connections are provided in the PowerPoint.
