Sesotho Home Language - Term 4 - Week 8

Today, we will focus on guided reading. Guided reading helps us understand stories better. We will read a short story together, and I will ask you questions to check your understanding. Remember to listen carefully and think about what the story means.

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 discuss it as a class. I will ask you to share your thoughts. For example, 'Why do you think Mokhulu likes to play outside?' You can raise your hand to answer. This helps us practice speaking and listening.

Now, I want you to write two sentences about Mokhulu. Use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you could write, 'Mokhulu is a cat.' and 'He loves to play.' After you finish, we will share our sentences with the class.
