Sepedi First Additional Language - Term 3 - Week 10

Guided reading is a teaching approach where the teacher supports students in reading texts that are slightly above their current reading level. This week, we will read a short story in Sepedi, focusing on understanding the main ideas and details. We will discuss the story together, allowing everyone to share their thoughts and ask questions.

Let's read a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. As we read, pay attention to what Thabo does and how he feels. After reading, we will discuss the story. For example, 'What did Thabo do when he scored a goal?' This helps us understand the text better.

After reading the story, we will have a group discussion. I will ask questions like, 'What is Thabo's favorite sport?' and 'How did Thabo feel when he played with his friends?' Each student will take turns answering. This will help us practice speaking and listening skills while reinforcing our understanding of the text.

Now, it's your turn to write! Using the story we read, write three sentences about Thabo. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you can write, 'Thabo loves soccer.' After writing, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud. This will help you practice your writing and speaking skills.
