Today, we will explore a short story together. Shared reading allows us to read as a group, helping each other understand the text. We will look at the title and pictures first to make predictions about what the story might be about. This will help us engage with the text and think critically about the content.
Let's look at the title of our story: 'Umlilo Wasekhaya' (The Fire at Home). What do you think this story will be about? Look at the picture on the first page. I see a house and smoke. Based on this, I predict that the story might involve a fire in a house. What do you think? Let's write down our predictions on the board.
Now, we will read the first few pages of 'Umlilo Wasekhaya' together. As we read, I want you to listen carefully and think about whether your predictions are correct. After each page, we will pause and discuss what we have read. I will ask you questions to help you think about the characters and events in the story.
After our shared reading, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next in the story. Remember to use correct punctuation and spacing. You can start your sentences with phrases like 'I think that...' or 'I predict that...'. Once you finish writing, we will share our sentences with a partner.
Answer: Umlilo Wasekhaya
The title of the story we focused on was 'Umlilo Wasekhaya', which means 'The Fire at Home'.
