 Text-to-World Connections

Real-world connections draw from, or upon,

actual objects, events, experiences and situations
to effectively address a concept, problem or issue.
It involves learning that allows students to
actually experience or practice concepts and
skills, as opposed to learning that is theoretical
or idealistic.
It features learning projects that directly relate to,
are relevant to, or provide benefit to students,
their families or the community.

What is Text-to-World Connection?

• This is a larger connection that a reader brings

to a reading situation. This can also be narrowly
defined as relating something in the text to a
current event.

 • Text-to-world connection can be done by
relating events in the text and the things that you
have seen or heard in the real world.
• Text-to-world connection can help you activate
relevant background knowledge to help you
understand the text, and expand your
appreciation on the domains of interconnected
information.
You may use the following prompts as your guide
in making text-to world connections:
• What does this remind me of in the real word?
• How is this text similar to things that happen
in the real world?
• How is this different from things that happen in
the real word?
• How did that part relate to the real world
around me?
