Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. As we read, I will ask you to predict what might happen next in the story. Predictions are guesses based on what we have read so far and what we think could happen next.
Let's look at the title of our story: 'The Lost Puppy'. Before we start reading, what do you think this story might be about? (Allow students to share their thoughts.) Now, as we read the first few sentences, pay attention to the details that might help us make more predictions. For example, if we read that the puppy is lost, what do you think will happen next? (Encourage students to share their predictions.)
Now, let’s read the story together. I will read the first paragraph, and then I will stop and ask you what you think will happen next. Remember to think about the clues in the text. After reading each paragraph, we will discuss our predictions and see if they change as we learn more about the story.
After our shared reading, I want you to write your own prediction about what will happen at the end of the story. Use a complete sentence and remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. You can also draw a picture to show your prediction. Once you finish, we will share our predictions with the class.
