Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, where I will read aloud and you will follow along. We will look at the pictures and talk about what we think might happen in the story. This is called making a prediction. Predictions help us understand the story better and keep us engaged.
Let’s look at the cover of our story, 'The Hungry Caterpillar'. What do you see? (Show the cover image). I see a caterpillar and some food. What do you think the caterpillar will do? (Encourage students to share their thoughts). This is a prediction! Now, let’s read the first page and see if our predictions are correct.
Now, I will read the first few pages of 'The Hungry Caterpillar'. As I read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After each page, I will ask you to share your predictions. Remember to listen carefully and think about the pictures and words. Let’s start reading together!
After our reading, I want you to write your own prediction about what will happen next in the story. Use the sentence starter: 'I think the caterpillar will...'. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Once you finish writing, draw a picture to show your prediction.
