Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, where everyone can participate. As we read, I will ask you to predict what might happen next in the story. Predictions are guesses based on what we have read so far and what we know about the world.
Let’s read the first part of our story: 'There was a little bird who wanted to fly high in the sky. One day, she saw a big tree and thought...' What do you think she will do next? (Pause for responses) Yes, she might try to fly up to the tree! That is a good prediction based on what we read.
Now, we will read a short text together. As I read, I want you to raise your hand when you have a prediction about what will happen next. After reading each paragraph, we will stop and discuss your predictions. Remember to think about the clues in the text and your own experiences.
After our shared reading, I want you to write your own prediction about the ending of the story. Use complete sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. For example, you could start with 'I think the bird will...' Once you finish writing, share your prediction with a partner.
