Daily Writing Prompt 6

Culturally relevant texts are those that children can connect to and draw back knowledge to make meaning. I agree with the fact that when children are reading they should be able to connect it with their background knowledge and experiences. Research has shown that our background and understanding of the world affects our reading. Therefore, children should be able to make connections through their readings; text to self, text to world and text to text. As a result, culturally relevant texts are the way for children to succeed in their progress towards and- reading comprehension is perhaps the key to literacy.
