Connections

Good readers draw on prior knowledge and experience to help them understand what they are reading and are thus able to use that knowledge to make connections. Struggling readers often move directly through a text without stopping to consider whether the text makes sense based on their own background knowledge, or whether their knowledge can be used to help them understand confusing or challenging materials.

There are many places in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where connections to your own life can be made. Sure, you've never won a Golden Ticket to tour Willy Wonka's factory, but have you ever had to save your money for something the way Charlie has? In the space below, show how well you understand Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by making connections to your own life.

When you write this, first tell what happened in the book and then make the connection to your own life. Here is an example:

Charlie has to save his money to buy a candy bar. Whenever I want a new video game, I have to save my money because it is so expensive.
