Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading helps us understand the text better when we read as a group. I will read a story aloud, and you will listen carefully. As we read, I will ask you to predict what might happen next. This is important because it helps us think critically about the story.
Let’s look at the first page of our story. I will read it aloud: 'UThandi uthanda ukuhamba emanzini.' (Thandi loves to swim in the water.) Now, what do you think will happen next? Will Thandi see a fish? Will she get splashed? Let’s discuss your ideas before we turn the page.
Now, I will divide you into small groups. Each group will read a different page of the story. After reading, discuss with your group what you think will happen next. Remember to use the clues from the text and pictures to help you. After a few minutes, each group will share their predictions with the class.
For your independent task, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen at the end of the story. Use correct punctuation and make sure your sentences are clear. You can also draw a picture to show your prediction. Once you finish, we will share our sentences with a partner.
