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 about a little bird named 'Uhlanga'. As we read, I will pause and ask, 'What do you think Uhlanga will do next?' For instance, if we read that Uhlanga is looking for food, you might predict that he will fly to a tree to find some seeds. This is how we use our imagination and understanding of the story to make predictions.
Now, I will read the next part of the story aloud. Listen carefully! After I finish, I want you to turn to your partner and discuss what you think will happen next. Use phrases like 'I think...' or 'Maybe Uhlanga will...'. After a few minutes, we will share our predictions with the class. Remember to listen to your friends' ideas too!
For your independent practice, I want you to think of your own ending for Uhlanga's story. Write 2-3 sentences about what you think happens next. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and a full stop at the end. After you finish writing, draw a picture that shows your ending. We will share our stories and drawings with the class later!
