Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 2 - Week 1

Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. We will look at pictures and words to make predictions about what might happen next in the story. This is a fun way to use our imagination and think critically about the text.

Let's look at the first page of our story. There is a picture of a cat looking at a tree. What do you think the cat will do next? Will it climb the tree, or will it walk away? Discuss your ideas with a partner. This helps us practice making predictions based on what we see and read.

Now, we will read the next part of the story together. As we read, I want you to raise your hand if you have a prediction about what will happen next. After reading a few sentences, we will pause and share our thoughts. Remember to listen to your classmates and think about their ideas as well.

After our shared reading, I want you to write one sentence about what you think will happen next in the story. Use correct punctuation at the end of your sentence. For example, if you think the cat will climb the tree, you can write, 'The cat will climb the tree.' Remember to leave space between your words!
