Sesotho First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 10

Guided reading is an important activity that helps learners improve their reading skills. In this session, we will read a short story together. I will ask questions to help you think about what you read. We will also discuss the story to ensure everyone understands it. Remember, it’s okay to ask questions if you don’t understand something!

Let's read a short story about a cat named 'Mokhulu'. Mokhulu loves to play outside. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'What does Mokhulu like to do?' and 'Where does Mokhulu play?' This will help us understand the story better.

After reading the story, we will have a group discussion. I will ask you to share your thoughts about Mokhulu. What do you think about his adventures? How do you feel when you read about him? This will help you practice speaking and listening skills.

Now, it’s your turn to write! Write three sentences about Mokhulu. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. For example, 'Mokhulu is a cat. He likes to play. He is very happy.' After writing, share your sentences with a partner.
