Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. We will look at the pictures and think about what might happen next in the story. This is called making a prediction. Predictions help us engage with the text and think critically about the story.
Let’s look at the cover of our story, 'Tlhokomelo ya Mma.' What do you see? (Show the cover image). Based on the picture, what do you think this story will be about? (Encourage students to share their thoughts). For example, if they see a woman with a basket, they might predict that the story involves shopping or gathering food.
Now, let’s read the first page of the story together. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After reading a paragraph, I will ask you to share your predictions. Remember to listen to your friends and build on their ideas. This will help us understand the story better.
After we finish the story, I want you to write down your own prediction about what will happen at the end. Use complete sentences and remember to use capital letters and full stops. Once you finish writing, you can draw a picture that represents your prediction. We will share our predictions with the class afterward.
