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 the pictures and the title to make predictions about what the story might be about. This is a fun way to use our imagination and think about what could happen next!
Let's look at the cover of our story, 'The Lost Puppy.' What do you see? (Show the cover image.) Based on the picture, what do you think the story will be about? (Encourage students to share their thoughts.) For example, if they see a puppy looking sad, they might predict that the puppy is lost and needs to find its way home.
Now, let's read the first few pages of 'The Lost Puppy' together. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After each page, I will ask you to share your predictions. Remember to listen carefully to your friends' ideas and build on them. This will help us understand the story better!
After our reading, I want you to write your own prediction about what will happen at the end of the story. Use the sentence starter: 'I think the puppy will...' and finish the sentence. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Once you finish writing, draw a picture to show your prediction.
