Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. I will read the story aloud, and you will listen carefully. After reading, we will discuss what we think might happen next in the story. This is called making predictions.
Let's look at the first page of our story. It talks about a little cat named Minki who sees a butterfly. What do you think Minki will do next? Will she chase the butterfly, or will she sit and watch it? Let's discuss our ideas and see if we can guess what happens next!
Now, I will read the next part of the story. As I read, think about what Minki might do. After I finish, I want each of you to share your predictions. Remember to listen to your friends' ideas, and we will write down the best predictions on the board. This will help us remember what we thought!
After our discussion, it's time to write! I want you to write one sentence about what you think will happen next in the story. Make sure to start your sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Once you finish, you can draw a picture of Minki and the butterfly to go with your sentence.
