Shared reading is a collaborative reading experience where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method encourages students to engage with the text, enhances their comprehension skills, and allows them to make predictions about the content. Today, we will read a short story together and discuss what we think might happen next based on the title and pictures.
Let's look at the title of our story: 'Uhlanga LweMali' (The Money Plant). What do you think this story will be about? Look at the picture on the cover. I see a plant with coins on it. I predict that the story will talk about how this plant brings good luck or wealth. What do you think? Let's write down our predictions on the board.
Now, we will read the first few paragraphs of 'Uhlanga LweMali' together. As I read, I want you to listen carefully and think about what might happen next. After reading each paragraph, I will pause and ask you to share your predictions. Remember to use phrases like 'I think that...' or 'I predict that...'. This will help us practice our speaking skills.
After our shared reading, I want you to write three sentences about what you think will happen next in the story. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, you could start with 'I think that...' or 'I believe that...'. Once you finish writing, pair up with a partner and read your sentences to each other.
