In this section, we will introduce the concept of shared reading. Shared reading is when the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This helps students to hear the correct pronunciation and intonation. We will look at a short story in siSwati and discuss the title and pictures to make predictions about what the story might be about.
Let’s look at the story titled 'Umlilo Omkhulu' (The Big Fire). We will examine the cover page and the illustrations. What do you think this story is about? Students might predict that it involves a fire and perhaps some characters trying to put it out. This prediction will guide our reading and comprehension as we explore the text together.
Now, we will read the story 'Umlilo Omkhulu' together. As I read, I want you to listen carefully and think about whether your predictions were correct. After each page, we will pause to discuss what happened and how it relates to our predictions. I will ask questions like, 'What do you think will happen next?' to encourage critical thinking.
After our reading session, I want you to write three sentences about the story. Use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you can start with 'Umlilo ubhujiswe' (The fire was put out). Remember to think about the characters and events in the story as you write. Once you finish, we will share our sentences with the class.
