Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

* Using a narrative story related to the theme, guide learners to predict what the story will be about using the cover picture and title of the story. E.g. Ask: What do you think is going to happen in the story? Teacher continues to read the story and let learners verify and confirm what they predicted.
