Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. We will look at the pictures and the title to make predictions about what the story might be about. This is a fun way to use our imagination and think critically about the text.
Let’s look at the cover of the story 'Mokhulu le Nkhono'. What do you see? (Show the cover image). Based on the title and the picture, what do you think will happen in the story? (Encourage students to share their ideas). For example, if they see a big tree, they might predict that the characters will have an adventure in the tree.
Now, let’s read the first few pages of the story together. As we read, I want you to think about what you think will happen next. After each page, we will pause and discuss. What do you think the characters are feeling? How do you know? This will help us connect with the story and improve our understanding.
After our reading, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next in the story. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning of your sentences and punctuation at the end. You can also draw a picture to illustrate your sentences. This will help you express your thoughts clearly.
