Guided reading is an instructional approach where the teacher supports students in reading texts that are slightly above their independent reading level. This week, we will read a short story in Setswana. The focus will be on understanding the main ideas and details of the text. We will also discuss the characters and settings to deepen comprehension.
Let’s read a short story about a boy named Thabo who loves to play soccer. After reading, we will identify the main character, the setting, and the problem Thabo faces. For instance, Thabo plays soccer every day after school, but one day it rains, and he cannot play. We will discuss how this affects him and what he might do instead.
In small groups, students will read a new short text about a girl named Naledi who enjoys gardening. Each group will take turns reading aloud. After reading, we will ask questions such as: What does Naledi grow in her garden? How does she feel about gardening? This will help students practice their speaking and listening skills while ensuring they understand the text.
Students will write five sentences about their favorite activity, ensuring they use correct punctuation and spacing. For example, if a student chooses to write about playing basketball, they might write: 'Ke rata go bapala basketball. Ke bapala le bagwera ba me. Re a itumelela.' After writing, students will share their sentences with a partner to practice speaking and listening.
