Sepedi Home Language - Term 1 - Week 4

Guided reading is an instructional approach where the teacher supports students as they read a text. In this lesson, we will read a short story together and discuss its main ideas. This will help improve your understanding of the text and develop your reading skills. We will focus on how to express our thoughts clearly and use proper punctuation in our writing.

Let's read a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. As we read, pay attention to the words and the punctuation. After reading, we will discuss what Thabo did in the story and how he felt. For example, if the text says, 'Thabo kicked the ball,' notice the action and how it is written. We will also look at how to use capital letters at the beginning of sentences.

After reading the story, we will break into small groups to discuss some questions. Each group will talk about what they liked about Thabo's story and share their favorite part. Remember to listen to your friends and respond to their ideas. For example, if someone says they liked when Thabo scored a goal, you can say, 'I also liked that part because it was exciting!' This practice will help you learn to express your thoughts and listen to others.

Now it's your turn to write! Think about your favorite sport or game. Write three sentences about it, making sure to use capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end. For example, if you like basketball, you could write, 'I love basketball. It is fun to play. I play with my friends.' After writing, share your sentences with a partner and read them aloud.
