English Home Language - Term 1 - Week 4

Guided reading is an essential part of developing reading skills. In this lesson, we will read a short story together. I will help you understand the text by asking questions and encouraging you to think about what you read. We will focus on the main ideas, characters, and events in the story.

Let's read the story 'The Lost Cat' together. As we read, I will pause to ask questions like, 'What do you think will happen next?' or 'How do you think the cat feels?' This will help you practice your comprehension skills. After reading, we will discuss the story and share our thoughts.

After reading 'The Lost Cat', we will have a group discussion. I will ask you questions such as, 'Who was the main character?' and 'What problem did the cat face?' You will take turns answering and sharing your ideas. This will help you learn to express your thoughts clearly and listen to others.

Now it's your turn to write! Think about the story we read and write three sentences about it. Make sure to use capital letters at the beginning of each sentence and a full stop at the end. You can write about your favorite part of the story or how you would help the lost cat.
