Description

These paper chain strips can be used to make a whole class display of the different connection skills. They pair perfectly with the Text Connection posters and once pasted together to create chains, make a terrific display of your class’ text connections comprehension skills.

These chains can be used as exit tickets and an informal assessment tool. After a whole class read aloud, have students make a connection using the paper chain strips. Sort the strips according to the connection type and create paper chains - these can then be attached to the 3 text connection posters. Students can also add a new chain link each time they read independently and make a connection.
