Making connections to a text is a key strategy for improving reading comprehension. By connecting the text to our own experiences, knowledge, and emotions, we can better understand and remember what we are reading. These connections help us to engage with the text on a deeper level and to make personal meaning out of the information presented.
 
Making connections can also help us to relate to characters and themes in the text, leading to a more enjoyable and fulfilling reading experience. Overall, making connections is an effective way to increase our understanding and appreciation of what we read.
