Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading is when we read a text as a group, and everyone participates. I will read the story aloud, and you will listen carefully. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next in the story. This is called making a prediction. Predictions help us understand the story better and keep us engaged.
Let's look at the cover of our story, 'The Clever Rabbit.' What do you see? (Show the cover image.) Based on the picture, what do you think the story will be about? (Encourage students to share their thoughts.) Now, as I read the first few sentences, listen for clues that might help you make more predictions about what will happen next.
Now, let's read the first part of 'The Clever Rabbit' together. I will read a sentence, and then you will repeat after me. After each sentence, I will ask you what you think will happen next. Remember to use your imagination! For example, after I read, 'The rabbit saw a big lion,' I might ask, 'What do you think the rabbit will do?' Encourage students to share their ideas and discuss them as a class.
Now it's your turn! After reading the story, I want you to write down one prediction about what will happen next. Use a complete sentence and remember to start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. For example, you could write, 'I think the rabbit will run away.' Once you finish writing, share your prediction with a partner and explain why you think that will happen.
