Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. We will look at the pictures and think about what might happen in the story. This is called making predictions. Predictions help us engage with the text and think critically about the story.
Let’s look at the cover of our story, 'Mokhudu le Ngwana'. What do you see? (Show the cover image.) Based on the picture, what do you think the story will be about? (Encourage students to share their thoughts.) For example, if they see a child with a ball, they might predict that the story is about playing games.
Now, let’s read the first page of 'Mokhudu le Ngwana' together. As we read, I want you to listen carefully and think about what might happen next. After reading a few sentences, pause and ask, 'What do you think will happen next?' Encourage students to share their predictions and discuss why they think that.
After our reading, I want you to write one sentence about what you think will happen next in the story. Remember to start your sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. You can also draw a picture to show your prediction. This will help you practice your writing skills and use correct punctuation.
