isiZulu First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 8

Guided reading is an important activity that helps learners understand texts better. In this lesson, we will read a short story together. I will ask questions to help you think about what you read. We will also discuss the story and share our thoughts. This will help improve your understanding of isiZulu.

Let's read the story 'UThandiwe noMusa'. In this story, Thandiwe and Musa go to the market. As we read, I will pause and ask questions like, 'What did Thandiwe buy?' and 'How did Musa feel?' This will help you think about the characters and events in the story.

After reading, we will discuss the story together. I will ask you to tell me your favorite part of the story and why. You can also ask your friends questions about what they liked. This will help you practice speaking and listening skills in isiZulu.
