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 first page of our story. There is a picture of a boy looking at a big tree. What do you think he might do next? Will he climb the tree, or will he sit under it? Let's discuss our ideas. Remember, there are no wrong answers when we predict!
Now, I will read the next part of the story aloud. As I read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After I finish reading, we will share our predictions. I will ask each of you to tell us your thoughts. This will help us learn from each other and see different perspectives.
For our independent practice, I want you to write down your own prediction about the ending of the story. Use complete sentences and remember to use capital letters and full stops. Once you finish writing, you can draw a picture of what you think will happen. Afterward, we will share our predictions with the class.
