Begin the lesson by explaining what shared reading is. Tell the learners that it is a time when we read together as a class. Emphasize the importance of making predictions about the text before reading it. Ask the learners what they think 'predict' means and encourage them to share their ideas. Explain that predicting helps us understand stories better.
Choose a short text, such as a simple story about a cat named 'Mia' who goes on an adventure. Before reading, show the cover and ask the learners what they think the story might be about. Prompt them with questions like, 'What do you think Mia will find on her adventure?' Write their predictions on the board. After reading the text, discuss whether their predictions were correct.
Divide the class into small groups and provide each group with a different short text. Instruct them to read the title and illustrations first, then discuss what they think the story will be about. Each group will share their predictions with the class. Encourage them to use complete sentences and correct punctuation when sharing. After discussing, read the texts aloud and compare the actual stories with their predictions.
Ask each learner to write a short sentence predicting what will happen next in a story they enjoy. Remind them to use correct punctuation and spacing. After they finish writing, they can illustrate their sentences. Once completed, invite a few learners to share their sentences with the class, reinforcing the importance of clear communication.
