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 the title to make predictions about what the story might be about. This will help us become better readers and thinkers.
Let’s look at the cover of our story, 'U Mbhokota no Mpfuni'. What do you think this story is about? (Pause for student responses.) Now, let’s read the first few pages together. As we read, I will ask you to share your thoughts on what might happen next. This process of guessing is called making predictions.
Now, let’s read the story together. I will read the first paragraph, and then I want you to read the next one. After each paragraph, we will stop and discuss what we think will happen next. Remember to look at the pictures for clues! What do you think will happen to Mbhokota after he meets Mpfuni? (Encourage students to share their ideas.)
Now that we have finished reading, I want you to write three sentences about the story. Use correct punctuation at the end of each sentence. For example, you can write about your favorite character or what you think will happen next. After you finish writing, share your sentences with a partner and discuss your predictions.
