Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 4

Guided reading is a teaching approach where students read a short text with the support of the teacher. This week, we will read a story about 'Mokhudu le Mma-Mokhudu', which teaches us about sharing and friendship. As we read, I will ask questions to help you think about the story and understand it better.

Let's look at the sentence: 'Mokhudu o a ratang go abelana.' (Mokhudu loves to share.) Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Now, let's create another sentence together. How about: 'Mma-Mokhudu o fa Mokhudu borai.' (Mma-Mokhudu gives Mokhudu a toy.) Remember to use correct punctuation!

Now, let's read the story together. I will read the first paragraph, and then you will read the next one. After each paragraph, I will ask you questions like, 'What did Mokhudu do?' or 'How did Mma-Mokhudu feel?' This will help us understand the story better and practice our speaking skills.

For your independent practice, I want you to write three sentences about what you like to share with your friends. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop. After writing, you can illustrate your sentences with a drawing. We will share our sentences in pairs after you finish.
