Guided reading is a teaching approach where the teacher supports students in reading texts that are slightly above their independent reading level. This week, we will read a short story together. I will ask questions to help you think about what you read. We will also discuss the characters and the main idea of the story.
Let’s look at the sentence: 'UThandi uthanda izinja.' (Thandi loves dogs.) Notice how we start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. When we write sentences, we must always remember these rules to make our writing clear and correct.
Now, let’s read a short story titled 'Umlingo Wokudla' (The Magic of Food). As we read, I will pause and ask questions. For example, 'Yini uThandi ayithanda?' (What does Thandi love?) After reading, we will discuss the story and answer questions together.
After our reading session, I want you to write three sentences about your favorite food. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning and full stops at the end. Once you finish, share your sentences with a partner and check if they have used correct punctuation.
