isiNdebele First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 10

Guided reading is an essential part of learning to read. In this lesson, we will read a short isiNdebele story together. I will help you understand the words and sentences. We will also talk about what the story means. Listening carefully and asking questions will help you learn better.

After reading, we will discuss the story. I will ask you questions such as, 'What did you like about the story?' and 'How did the characters feel?' You will share your thoughts with your classmates. This will help you practice speaking and listening skills.
