Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping us to understand the text better. We will look at the title and pictures first to make predictions about what the story might be about. This helps us activate our prior knowledge and engage with the text.
Let’s look at the title of our story: 'Umntfwana noMntfwana'. What do you think this story is about? (Pause for student responses.) Now, let’s look at the pictures. What do you see? (Encourage students to describe the images.) Based on the title and pictures, I predict that the story will be about two children who go on an adventure together.
Now, we will read the story together. As I read, listen carefully and think about whether your predictions were correct. After each page, we will pause to discuss what happened. I will ask you questions like, 'What did the characters do?' and 'How do you think they felt?' This will help us understand the story better.
After our reading, I want you to write three sentences about the story. Use correct punctuation and make sure your sentences are clear. For example, you could write about your favorite part of the story or how you think the characters felt. Remember to check your spacing between words!
