What are three questions you might ask yourself as you attempt to relate a text to your knowledge of the world?

Making connections with your knowledge of the world while reading a text is so helpful because it affects how we learn in a good way. If you as a reader bring some previous knowledge or experience about the world before you read a text, you would be able to make connections and in that order, understand better what you read.

So, answering your question, this are some of the questions you might think about in an attempt to relate a text with your knowledge of the world:

As one attempts to relate a text to our knowledge of the world  there are three questions one might ask oneself each  related to a different connection  with the text.

First, Text-to-self . A possible question might be “Has something like this ever happened to me?”

Second,Text-to-text.  A possible question might “Have I read about something like this before?”

Third, Text-to-world. A possible question might be “How is this text similar to things that happen in the real world?”
