This chapter, “The Power to Connect” is similar to chapter two. It does go a bit more in-depth as to the exact steps that can be used to help students make connections while they are reading. While I feel like I already do this in my classroom, I am beginning to think I need to model it more often than I do. The highlighted section on page 37 hit home for me. So many students make connections but we need to be more conscious of making sure those connections are meaningful. As teachers, we need to model what that looks like. I absolutely love that at the end of the chapter, there is a list of books teachers can use to help model the power to connect while reading. It is a comprehensive list and well thought out. This will be a big time saver for me. Some books are better than others for teaching various strategies and this list will be very beneficial.
