Explanation

Introduction to Shared Reading

Shared reading is a collaborative approach where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method encourages students to engage with the text and make predictions about what will happen next. Today, we will read a short story together and discuss our predictions based on the illustrations and text.

Worked examples

Example Text and Predictions

Let’s look at the story of 'Uthando Lwethu' (Our Love). The story begins with a boy who finds a lost puppy. Before we read further, let’s predict what might happen next. Will he keep the puppy? Will he find its owner? Discuss your thoughts with a partner and share your predictions with the class.

Guided practice

Reading Together

Now, we will read the story together. As I read, I want you to raise your hand whenever you think you know what will happen next. After each page, we will pause and discuss our predictions. Remember to use the clues from the text and pictures to support your ideas.

Independent practice

Writing Predictions

After our shared reading, I want you to write your own prediction about what will happen at the end of the story. Use complete sentences and remember to include punctuation. For example, 'I think the boy will find the puppy’s owner.' Once you finish writing, share your prediction with a friend.
