Cross-Textual Linkages
Worksheet Description
Elevate students’ reading comprehension skills with the “Reading for Meaning” worksheet, designed to enhance their engagement and understanding of assigned texts.
Students will start by recording the title of the text and providing a brief overview of its content. Prior to delving into the text, they will generate three distinct connections to their existing knowledge and reading experiences:
- Connecting the upcoming text to another text they have read.
- Establishing a link between the text and a different piece of literature.
- Drawing a parallel between the text and another literary work.
By fostering these connections, students actively engage with the text’s themes and context, resulting in a more profound comprehension of the material.
