1.3 Strategies During Reading

Make Connections

As you read, think about how this information relates to what you already know.

What do you know about this topic already?

Does this text remind you of something you or someone you know has experienced?

Does it remind you of another book or movie you have seen?

Does it remind you of something that happened in your community or in other parts of the world?

Relating what you read to what you already know helps you visualize and understand the information better.
