Text-to-world connections are the larger connections that a reader brings

to a reading situation. We all have ideas about how the world works that
goes far beyond our own personal experiences. They no longer connect
with only personal information or experiences. Media such as television,
Internet, or movies, is a great way to introduce text-to- world. Most
