Sometimes it is difficult for some of our students to grasp the idea of "text to self, text to text, and text to world". I recently ran across this image while looking for ideas to help teach this concept! What a great idea!! This visual representation is a quick and easy way for the children to understand the meaning of the comprehension terms. To create your own set of visuals you can use the Ellison die cut and attach together using paperclips. Keep these posted in the whole group area, listening center, library center, and at the guided reading table. Keeping these displayed will help to remind your students of what you are referring to when asking them to make a connection. It is a fabulous and inexpensive visual for your students!!
Materials Needed:
construction paper, die cuts, and paperclips
1 open book shape linked to the globe shape
1 open book shape linked to 1 open book shape
1 open book shape linked to 1 person shape
