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 think about what might happen next in the story. This is called making a prediction. Predictions help us to engage with the text and think critically about the story.
Let’s look at the first page of our story. It shows a picture of a cat sitting by a window. What do you think the cat is looking at? (Pause for responses.) Great predictions! Now, let’s read the text together and see if your predictions were correct. Remember, predictions can be right or wrong, and that’s okay!
Now, I will read the next part of the story. As I read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After I finish reading, we will discuss your predictions. Remember to listen carefully! (Read the next section of the story and pause to allow students to share their thoughts.)
For our independent practice, I want you to write your own prediction about what will happen next in the story. Use a complete sentence and remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After you write your prediction, draw a picture of what you think will happen. We will share our predictions with the class afterward.
