Today, we will engage in shared reading, where we will read a short story together. Shared reading helps us understand the text better and allows us to make predictions about what might happen next. We will look at the title and pictures to help us guess the story's content before we read.
Let’s look at the title of our story: 'The Brave Little Lion'. What do you think this story will be about? (Allow students to share their ideas.) Now, let’s look at the picture on the cover. What do you see? (Discuss the image and encourage predictions.) Based on the title and the picture, I predict that the lion will go on an adventure.
Now, let’s read the first few pages of 'The Brave Little Lion' together. As we read, I want you to think about what you think will happen next. After each page, we will pause and discuss our predictions. What do you think will happen after the lion meets the other animals? (Encourage students to share their thoughts.)
After our reading, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next in the story. Remember to use correct punctuation at the end of each sentence. You can also draw a picture to go along with your sentences. Once you are done, we will share our sentences with the class.
