Guided reading is a teaching approach where the teacher supports a small group of learners as they read a text. In this lesson, we will read a short story together. As we read, I will ask questions to help you think about what the story means. We will also discuss new words and their meanings to build our vocabulary.

Let's read the story 'Uthando Lwethu' together. As we read, pay attention to the characters and the main idea of the story. After reading, I will ask you questions like, 'Who are the main characters?' and 'What happened at the end of the story?' This will help you understand the text better.

After reading, we will discuss the story. I will ask you to share your thoughts. For example, 'What did you like about the story?' and 'How did the characters feel?' This discussion will help you express your ideas and improve your speaking skills. Remember to listen to your classmates and respond to their ideas.

Now it's your turn to write! Using the new words we learned from the story, write three sentences. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, if you learned the word 'uthando' (love), you could write, 'Uthando luhamba phambili.' After writing, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud.
