Guided reading is a teaching approach where the teacher supports students in reading a text. Today, we will read a short story together. As we read, I will ask questions to help you think about what the story means. Remember, it’s important to listen carefully and think about the answers.

Let's read the story 'Uhlanga Olukhulu' together. As we read, I will pause and ask questions. For example, after reading a paragraph, I might ask, 'What do you think the main character is feeling?' This helps us understand the story better.

After reading the story, we will discuss it as a class. I will ask questions like, 'What happened at the beginning of the story?' and 'Who were the main characters?' Everyone will have a chance to share their thoughts. Remember to listen to your classmates and respect their ideas.

Now, I want you to write three sentences about the story we read. Make sure to use correct punctuation. For example, you can start with 'In the story, I learned that...' or 'The character felt...'. After you finish, check your sentences for any mistakes in punctuation or spacing.
