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. This will help us think critically and engage with the text.
Let’s read a story about a little bird named 'Ntho'. As we read, I will pause and ask, 'What do you think Ntho will do next?' For instance, if we read that Ntho is looking for food, you might predict that he will find a worm or a seed. This helps us connect our ideas to the story.
Now, let’s read a new story together. I will read the first part, and then I want you to predict what will happen next. After reading each section, I will ask you questions like, 'What do you think will happen to Ntho now?' We will discuss your predictions as a class.
After our reading, I want you to write your own sentences about what you think happened in the story. Use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you might write, 'Ntho found a big worm.' Remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop.
