Inside the classroom Teaching Procedures
1. Introduce the idea that we can activate what we already know (prior knowledge) to understand more about what we are reading
2. Tell students they can do it by making connections between themselves and what they read
3. Read a text with students
![Page 16: Reading Strategy Making Connections : Making Connections : A Bridge From the New to the Known](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649ca85503460f9496a93d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Show students an organizer with questions that help make connections
5. Model how to make connections
6. Encourage students to make connections by using their personal experience

7. Use prompts to help students to make connections
• This part reminds me of....If that happened to me I would....This book reminds me of...(another text) because....I can relate to...(part of text) because one time....Something similar happened to me when....
8. Allow time for sharing. 9. Students should continue to practice the strat
