Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. As we read, we will make predictions about what might happen next in the story. This will help us think critically and engage with the text.
Let's read the first part of our story. The story begins with a little girl named Nandi who finds a mysterious box in her garden. Before we read further, what do you think is inside the box? Discuss your ideas with a partner. This is how we make predictions based on what we have read so far.
Now, I will read the next part of the story aloud. As I read, listen carefully and think about what might happen next. After I finish, we will discuss our predictions as a class. Remember to use complete sentences when sharing your thoughts. For example, you can say, 'I think there is a toy in the box because Nandi loves to play.'
After our discussion, I want you to write down your own prediction about what is in the box. Use the sentence starter: 'I think there is...' Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. Once you finish writing, share your sentence with a friend and explain your prediction.
