A Book Report on ‘The BFG’ Comprehension Strategies


Making Connections: As you read a text it might remind you of something else. This is called making a connection. It deepens your understanding and helps you to make sense of the text. There are three different types of connections that can be made. Text-to-self: the text might remind you of something in your own life. Text-to-text: the text might remind you of something you read somewhere else. Text-to-world: the text might remind you of something in the news, the environment, a film, etc.
