Shared reading is a collaborative approach where the teacher reads a text aloud while students follow along. This method encourages students to engage with the text actively. Today, we will read a short story together and make predictions about what might happen next. Prediction is a vital reading strategy that helps us think critically about the text and enhances our understanding.
As we read the first paragraph of our story, let’s pause and think about what might happen next. For example, if the story introduces a character who is lost in the woods, we can predict that they might find their way home or encounter an animal. Writing down our predictions helps us keep track of our thoughts and makes reading more exciting.
Now, let’s read the first two paragraphs of our story together. After reading, I want you to discuss in pairs what you think will happen next. Use phrases like 'I predict that...' or 'I think the character will...'. After a few minutes, we will share our predictions with the class. Remember to listen to your partner and build on their ideas.
For your independent practice, I want you to write a short paragraph predicting the outcome of the story based on what we have read so far. Make sure to use correct punctuation and spacing. After writing, exchange your paragraph with a classmate and provide feedback on each other’s predictions. This will help you refine your writing and prediction skills.
