Today, we will engage in shared reading of a short isiXhosa story. Shared reading allows us to read together and discuss what we think might happen next. We will look at the title and pictures to help us make predictions about the story. This is an important skill that helps us understand texts better.
Let's look at the title of our story: 'Uthando Lwethu' (Our Love). What do you think this story might be about? (Pause for student responses.) Now, let’s look at the first picture. What do you see? How does it relate to the title? (Encourage students to share their thoughts and predictions.)
Now, we will read the first two paragraphs of 'Uthando Lwethu' together. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next. After we read, we will discuss your predictions. (Read the text aloud, then ask students to share their thoughts on what they think will happen next.)
After our discussion, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next in the story. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. Once you finish writing, pair up with a friend and read your sentences to each other. This will help you practice your speaking skills.
