Text-to-Self, Text-to-Text, and Text-to-World Connections - Free Teaching Resource #176505 (License: Personal Use)

This vibrant educational infographic breaks down three essential reading comprehension strategies: text-to-self (linking a book to personal experience), text-to-text (connecting to another book or text), and text-to-world (relating content to real-life events or knowledge). Each section features clear icons-a child, stacked books, and a globe with a heart-and concise definitions, making it accessible for elementary and middle school learners. The design includes a printable black-and-white version for student worksheets.

Used in elementary and middle school literacy classrooms as an anchor chart, handout, or digital slide to teach metacognitive reading strategies; supports Common Core ELA standards and guided reading lessons.
