Setswana Home Language - Term 4 - Week 8

Guided reading is an essential part of learning to read. In this lesson, we will read a short story together. I will help you understand the story by asking questions and discussing the characters and events. This will help you improve your reading skills and comprehension.

Let's read a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play outside. As we read, I will pause and ask questions like, 'What is Thabo doing?' and 'How does he feel about playing outside?' This will help you think about the story and understand it better.

After reading the story, we will have a group discussion. I will ask you questions such as, 'What did Thabo find in the garden?' and 'Who did he play with?' You will share your answers with your classmates, and we will talk about the different parts of the story together.

Now it's your turn to write! Using the story we read, write three sentences about Thabo. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and punctuation at the end. For example, 'Thabo plays outside.' Make sure your sentences are clear and easy to read.
