Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading helps us understand how to predict what might happen in a story. We will look at the pictures and read the title to make guesses about the story. This is a fun way to engage with the text and improve our reading skills.
Let’s look at the cover of our story, 'Mokhulu le Ntho e Ntle' (Grandpa and the Beautiful Thing). What do you think this story is about? Look at the picture. I see a grandpa and a colorful object. I predict that the story will be about how grandpa finds something special. What do you think?
Now, we will read the first page of the story together. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After reading, we will discuss our predictions. Why do you think that? Let’s share our thoughts and see if we can come up with similar ideas.
After our reading, I want you to write one sentence about what you think will happen next in the story. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and a full stop at the end. You can also draw a picture to show your prediction. Once you finish, we will share our sentences with the class.
