English First Additional Language - Term 1 - Week 4

Guided reading is a teaching approach that helps students improve their reading skills through focused practice. In this lesson, we will read a short story together. I will guide you through the reading process, helping you to understand the text and discuss its meaning. We will also practice writing sentences that reflect what we have read.

Let's read the story 'The Lost Puppy' together. As we read, pay attention to the main events and characters. After reading, I will ask you some questions to check your understanding. For example, 'What happened to the puppy?' and 'Who helped the puppy find its way home?'

After reading, we will discuss the story. I will ask you questions like, 'How did the puppy feel when it was lost?' and 'What did the children do to help the puppy?' This will help you think critically about the text and express your thoughts clearly. Remember to use complete sentences when answering.

Now it's your turn to write! Think about the story we read and write three sentences about it. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you could write, 'The puppy was lost.' or 'The children found the puppy.' After you finish writing, share your sentences with a partner.
