Today, we will engage in shared reading, where we will read a short story together as a class. Shared reading allows us to explore the text collaboratively, helping us to understand the story better. As we read, I will ask you to make predictions about what might happen next. This will help you think critically about the text and engage with the story.
Let's look at the first page of our story. The main character is a young girl named Thandi who finds a mysterious box in her garden. Before we turn the page, what do you think is inside the box? You can say your ideas out loud. This is an example of making a prediction based on the information we have.
Now, we will read the next few pages together. As we read, I want you to raise your hand whenever you have a prediction about what will happen next. After reading each page, we will pause and discuss your predictions. This will help us connect the story elements and understand the characters' motivations.
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. Once you finish writing, share your sentences with a partner and discuss your predictions. This will help you practice your speaking skills as well.
