Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group and discuss what we see and hear. We will look at the pictures and the title of the story to make predictions about what might happen. This helps us become better readers and thinkers.
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 and a dog. What do you think will happen in the story? You might say, 'The child loves the dog.' This is a prediction based on what we see.
Now, let’s read the first page of 'Uthando Lwethu' together. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After reading a few lines, I will ask you to share your predictions. Remember to listen carefully to your friends’ ideas and think about how they connect to the story.
After our reading, I want you to write one sentence about what you think will happen next in the story. Use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. For example, you might write, 'Uthando lwenja uzokwenziwa.' (The love of the dog will be shown.) Remember to check your punctuation!
