Wisconsin FORT (Foundations of Reading) Practice Test

Which of the following is not one of the three Text to _____ Items?

1. Text to Friend

2. Text to Self

3. Text to Text

4. Text to World

The correct answer is: Text to Friend

In literacy education, the concept of Text to Self, Text to Text, and Text to World connections is often used to help students comprehend and make meaning of the text they are reading. These connections serve as valuable comprehension strategies that encourage readers to connect what they are reading to their own experiences, other texts they have read, and the world around them. Among the given choices, "Text to Friend" is not one of the three commonly utilized connections. The three traditional text connections are Text to Self (connecting the text to personal experiences or emotions), Text to Text (connecting the text to other texts that have been read), and Text to World (connecting the text to real-world events or issues). While the idea of discussing a text with a friend can certainly be beneficial for comprehension, it is not a standard text connection category as outlined in educational literature.
