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, share their thoughts, and make predictions about what might happen next. Today, we will read a short story together and discuss our predictions based on the title and pictures.

Let's look at the title of our story: 'Mokhudu le Mmaagwe'. What do you think this story is about? (Pause for student responses.) Now, let’s look at the illustrations. What do you see? (Discuss the images.) Based on the title and pictures, what do you think will happen in the story? (Encourage students to share their predictions.)

Now, we will read the first few paragraphs of 'Mokhudu le Mmaagwe' together. As I read, I want you to think about what you expect to happen next. After reading, we will discuss your thoughts. Remember to listen carefully and think critically about the text.

After our shared reading, I want you to write down your own predictions about the rest of the story. Use complete sentences and remember to use correct punctuation. For example, you might write, 'I think Mokhudu will find a treasure.' Once you finish, we will share our predictions with the class.
