Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. As we read, I will ask you to predict what might happen next in the story. Predictions are guesses based on what we have read so far and what we think might happen next.
Let’s read the first paragraph of our story. After reading, I will ask, 'What do you think will happen next?' For example, if the story is about a cat that sees a mouse, you might predict that the cat will chase the mouse. This helps us think critically about the text and engage with the story.
Now, we will read the next part of the story together. After each paragraph, I want you to turn to your partner and share your predictions. What do you think will happen next? Remember to listen to your partner’s ideas and discuss why you think your predictions are correct. This will help us build our understanding of the story.
After our shared reading, I want you to write down your own predictions for the ending of the story. Use complete sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. For example, you might write, 'I think the cat will catch the mouse.' Once you finish, share your predictions with a friend and discuss them.
