Today, we will read a short story together. Shared reading allows us to enjoy a text as a group and helps us learn from each other. As we read, I will ask you to make predictions about what might happen next in the story. Predictions are guesses based on what we have read so far and what we already know.
Let’s look at the first page of our story. It shows a picture of a boy looking at a big tree. What do you think will happen next? You might say, 'I think the boy will climb the tree.' This is a prediction because it is what you think will happen based on the picture and the title of the story.
Now, I will read the next part of the story aloud. As I read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After I finish reading, we will discuss your predictions. Remember to use 'I think' when you share your ideas. For example, 'I think the boy will find something interesting in the tree.'
After our discussion, I want you to write your own prediction about the story. Use a complete sentence and remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. For example, 'I think the boy will see a bird in the tree.' Once you finish writing, draw a picture of what you think will happen next.
