Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using a narrative story related to the theme, guide learners to predict what will happen in the text. Learners listen attentively to the Teacher-read-aloud text and answer 'wh' questions as in the Herringbone strategy, During and after the reading, the teacher should pause often and ask the learners the following questions: who did what in the story, what happened, what was the problem in the story? where did the story
happen?, how and why] (see Appendix 1) Encourage learners to use their own words to retell and answer the questions.
