Shared reading is an interactive reading experience where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method encourages students to engage with the text, make predictions about what will happen next, and discuss their thoughts. Today, we will read a short story together and practice making predictions based on the title and illustrations.
Before we read the story 'Uthando Lwethu', let’s look at the title and the picture on the cover. What do you think this story is about? Students might predict that it is about love or friendship. As we read, we will check if our predictions are correct and discuss any new ideas that come up.
In small groups, students will read a paragraph from the story. After reading, each group will discuss what they think will happen next. They will share their predictions with the class. The teacher will guide the discussion by asking questions like, 'Why do you think that?' and 'What clues in the text helped you make that prediction?'
Students will write their own short story based on a picture provided by the teacher. They will first write a prediction about what they think the story will be about, followed by a few sentences that tell the story. They should pay attention to punctuation and spacing in their writing. After completing their stories, students will share them with a partner.
