Today, we will read a short story together. Shared reading helps us understand the text better and allows us to make predictions about what might happen next. As we read, I will ask you questions to think about the story and share your ideas. Remember, predictions are guesses based on what we read and see in the pictures.
Let's look at the cover of our story, 'Uthando Lwethu' (Our Love). What do you think this story is about? Look at the picture. I see a child holding a heart. What could this mean? You might predict that the story is about love or friendship. Making predictions helps us engage with the story and think critically.
Now, let's read the first page of 'Uthando Lwethu' together. As I read, listen carefully and think about what might happen next. After reading a few sentences, I will pause and ask you to share your predictions. For example, if I say, 'The child saw a puppy,' you might predict that the child will play with the puppy or take it home.
After our shared reading, I want you to write down 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. For example, you could write, 'I think the child will find a friend.' Once you finish, share your prediction with a partner.
