Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. As we read, I want you to think about what might happen next in the story. This is called making a prediction. Predictions are guesses based on what we already know or what we have read so far.
Let’s read the first part of our story about a little boy named Thabo who finds a mysterious box in the forest. After reading the first paragraph, I will ask you, 'What do you think is inside the box?' You might say, 'I think there are toys inside the box' or 'Maybe there is a treasure.' These are your predictions based on the clues in the text.
Now, we will read the next part of the story together. As we read, I will stop at certain points and ask you to predict what will happen next. For example, after reading about Thabo opening the box, I might ask, 'What do you think Thabo will do with what he finds?' Remember to use your imagination and think about the story details.
After our reading session, I want you to write your own short story about a character who discovers something unusual. Write at least three sentences about what they find and what they will do next. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. Once you finish, share your story with a partner and discuss your predictions.
