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. This helps us think critically about the text.
Let’s read the first part of our story: 'UThandi uhlala emzaneni. Uthanda ukudlala ngaphandle.' (Thandi lives in the village. She loves to play outside.) Now, what do you think Thandi will do next? Will she play with her friends or stay alone? Let’s discuss our ideas and see if they match what happens in the story.
I will read the next part of the story aloud. As I read, listen carefully and think about what you believe will happen next. After I finish, we will talk about your predictions. Remember to use complete sentences when sharing your thoughts. For example, you can say, 'Ngicabanga ukuthi uThandi uzodlala nomngane wakhe.' (I think Thandi will play with her friend.)
Now it’s your turn to write! Think about the story we read and write two sentences about what you think will happen next. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences and a full stop at the end. After you finish writing, draw a picture that shows your prediction.
