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 are guesses based on what we already know or what we have read so far.
Let’s read the first part of our story about a little bird named 'Uhlanga'. As we read, I will pause and ask you what you think Uhlanga will do next. For example, if I read, 'Uhlanga saw a big tree and wanted to fly to it,' I might ask, 'What do you think Uhlanga will do next?' You might predict that Uhlanga will try to fly or that he might find something interesting in the tree.
Now, let’s read the next part of the story together. I will read a sentence, and then I will stop. I want you to turn to your partner and discuss what you think will happen next. After a minute, we will share our predictions with the class. Remember to listen carefully to your partner's ideas and build on them.
After our reading, I want you to write down your own prediction about what will happen at the end of the story. Use complete sentences and remember to use capital letters and punctuation. For example, you could write, 'I think Uhlanga will find a nest in the tree.' Once you finish writing, draw a picture that shows your prediction.
