Tshivenda Home Language - Term 1 - Week 3

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, we will make predictions about what might happen next based on the clues we find in the story. This will help us become better readers and thinkers.

Let’s read the first paragraph of our story. After reading, I will ask you what you think will happen next. For example, if the story mentions a character finding a mysterious box, what do you think might be inside? This encourages us to think critically about the text and use our imagination.

Now, let’s read the next part of the story together. As we read, I want you to raise your hand if you have a prediction about what will happen next. After reading, we will discuss your predictions as a class. Remember to use complete sentences when sharing your thoughts, such as 'I think the box will contain a treasure because...'

After our shared reading, I want you to write your own prediction about the ending of the story. Use at least three sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. Once you finish, pair up with a partner and share your predictions. Listen to each other and discuss any differences in your ideas.
