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, I want you to 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 read the first part of our story. It begins with a little girl named Thandi who finds a mysterious box in her garden. After reading this part, I will ask you: 'What do you think is inside the box?' This is your chance to make a prediction based on what we have read so far. Remember, there are no wrong answers!
Now, let’s read the next section of the story together. After we finish reading, I will divide you into small groups. Each group will discuss what they think will happen next and why. Use clues from the text to support your predictions. After your discussions, each group will share their predictions with the class.
For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph about what you think will happen at the end of the story. Use at least three sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. After writing, draw a picture that represents your prediction. We will share our paragraphs and drawings with the class.
