Tshivenda First Additional Language - Term 4 - Week 8

Guided reading is a teaching approach where the teacher supports students in reading a text that is slightly above their independent reading level. This week, we will read a short story in Tshivenda. The story will help us practice our reading skills and understand the main ideas. We will also discuss the characters and events in the story to improve our comprehension.

Let's read a short story together. The story is about a young boy named Ndivhuwo who finds a lost dog. As we read, I will pause to ask questions about what is happening. For example, I might ask, 'What did Ndivhuwo do when he found the dog?' This will help us think about the story and understand it better.

After reading the story, I will ask you some questions to check your understanding. For example, 'Who is the main character?' and 'What happens at the end of the story?' We will discuss your answers as a class, and I will encourage you to explain your thoughts. This will help us practice speaking and listening skills.

Now it’s your turn to write! I want you to write three sentences about the story we read. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you can write, 'Ndivhuwo found a dog. The dog was lost. They became friends.' After writing, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud.
