(isiZulu): Grade 3, Lesson 1: Teaching young children to read and write for meaning

In this video, we will introduce the story, Ouma Ruby’s Secret, to the class and with the help of the children, will select a theme from the story. The theme from the story is then linked to the children’s lives and their ideas by: 1. Asking the children to tell us what they know about the theme (The theme highlighted in this video is, “How do we travel?”) 2. Writing their responses on a mind map 3. Letting the children read each point aloud
