Today, we will read a short story together as a class. Shared reading allows us to explore the text and illustrations while making predictions about what might happen next. As we read, I will ask you to think about the characters and the events in the story. What do you think will happen? Why do you think that?
Let's look at the cover of our story, 'The Lost Puppy.' What do you see? (Show the cover.) I see a puppy looking sad. What do you think happened to the puppy? (Encourage responses.) Now, as we read the first page, listen carefully and think about what might happen next. After reading, we will discuss our predictions.
After reading a few pages of 'The Lost Puppy,' I will ask you to raise your hand if you have a prediction about what will happen next. For example, if the puppy is lost, where do you think it will go? (Allow students to share their ideas.) Let's write down some of your predictions on the board. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences and a full stop at the end.
Now it's your turn! I want you to think of a story you know or a story we read together. Write down one prediction about what will happen next in that story. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. Once you finish writing, you can draw a picture that shows your prediction. We will share our predictions with the class after.
