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 title and pictures first to make predictions about what the story might be about. This will help us engage with the text and think critically.
Let's look at the title of our story: 'Uthando Lwethu' (Our Love). What do you think this story is about? I see a picture of a family. I predict it will talk about family love. Now, let's read the first paragraph together and see if our predictions are correct.
Now, I will read the next part of the story aloud. As I read, think about what might happen next. After I finish, I will ask you to share your predictions. Remember to listen carefully and think about the characters and events in the story.
After our reading, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next in the story. Use correct punctuation at the end of each sentence. For example, if you think a character will go on an adventure, write: 'UThandi uzohamba emhlabeni omusha.' (Thandi will go to a new world.) Remember to check your spacing between words!
