isiZulu, EnglishReading aloud to children stimulates their imagination
and develops their language, curiosity and knowledge all
while they experience the pleasure of stories! But reading
aloud well – whether it is to your own children or a group
of children in your class or reading club – is an art! Here are
some tips to help you:1.
8.9.Ukufundela izingane kuzwakale kukhuthaza ukuzakhela
izithombe zomqondo kwezingane futhi kuthuthukisa ulimi
ezilukhulumayo, ukuthola ukuthi izinto zenzeka kanjani kanye
nolwazi ngesikhathi zithokozela ubumnandi bezindaba! Kodwa
ukufunda kahle kuzwakale – okungabe ukwenzela izingane
zakho noma izingane eziningana egumbini lokufunda noma
ethimbeni lokufunda – kuyikhono lobungcweti! Nanka amanye
amacebo angakusiza:Choose books to read that you enjoy but also ones that match your
children’s changing interests.
Reading aloud is always a performance! Put lots of expression in your
voice to create the mood.
Practice makes perfect so if you’re new to this, read the story aloud
before you read it to a group of children.
Try to be aware of your listeners and don’t read too fast! Allow time for
them to look closely at the illustrations or to create a mental picture as
Books with rhyme, rhythm and repetition make good read-aloud
books for young children and to introduce a new language. As they
get to know the story, encourage children to join in as you read.
Children may need time to settle before you begin reading. Young
children respond well to a song or rhyme or guessing what the story
might be about from the cover picture and title. Ask older children
to recall what happened in a novel at the end of your last readaloud session.
Start by reading the name of the author (and illustrator) so children
appreciate that books are created by people just like them!
We all have to learn how to listen to and engage with a
story. Draw your children into the story: for example, ask
them what they think might happen next, discuss one
of the pictures or
ask them to turn the

6.Khetha izincwadi enizozifunda ozithokozelayo kodwa kube yilezo
ezihambisana nokushintshashintsha kwezinto ezithandwa izingane zakho.
Ukufunda kuzwakale kuhlale kungukulingisa! Yenza ukuthi izwi lakho lakhe
Ukuhlale uzijwayeza kukwenza ube umpetha ngakho uma ungumuntu
osemusha kulo mkhakha, funda indaba kuzwakale ngaphambi kokuba
uyifundele izingane eziningi.
Zama ukuhambisana nobafundelayo futhi ungafundi usheshe kakhulu!
Nikeza izingane isikhathi sokuthi zibhekisise imidwebo noma ukuthi
zizenzele izithombe zomqondo ngesikhathi ufunda.
Izincwadi ezinemilolozelo, isigqi nempinda zenza izincwadi ezikahle ukuthi
ungazifunda kuzwakale ufundele izingane ezincane nokuthi ungenise
ulimi olusha. Ngenkathi izingane ezincane ziya ngokujwayela indaba,
zigqugquzele ukuthi zihlanganyele nawe ngesikhathi ufunda.
Kungenzeka ukuthi izingane zidinge isikhathi sokuzilungiselela ngaphambi
kokuthi uqale ukufunda. Izingane zihambisana kangcono neculo
noma umlolozelo noma ukuqagela ukuthi ngabe indaba imayelana
nani ngokubheka umdwebo osekhaveni kanye nesihloko sencwadi.
Cela izingane ezindala ukuthi zikhumbule ukuthi kwenzekeni enovelini
esikhathini senu sokugcina sokufunda kuzwakale.7.Amacebo
kuzwakale8.9.Qala ngokufunda igama lombhali
(nodwebe imidwebo) ukuze izingane
zazise ukuthi izincwadi zenziwa abantu
Kumele sifunde sonke ukuthi silalela futhi
sizibandakanye kanjani nendaba. Yenza
izingane zakho zibe yingxenye yendaba:
isibonelo, zibuze ukuthi zicabanga ukuthi
yini elandelayo ezokwenzeka, xoxani
ngesinye sezithombe noma uzicele ukuthi
Uma nifunda incwadi enezithombe,
qinisekisa ukuthi zonke izingane
ziyalithola ithuba lokubona izithombe.
Kungenzeka ukuthi nithande ukubuye
nime ukuze nibone izithombe bese
uvumela ukuthi izingane ziphawule
ngokuthile noma zibuze imibuzo
ngemuva kokuba seniyifunde kanye
nayiqeda incwadi.10. Uma uyifunda kuzwakale inoveli, fundaisahluko noma ingxenye yesahluko
ngosuku ngalunye. Thola indawo ozoma
kuyo endabeni ezokwenza ukuthi
abakulalele bafise ukuthi uqhubeke nayo

your goals for you to read aloud or tell.Running for lifeNansi indaba emayelana nokuphokophela kanye nokuzuza

noma uyixoxe.(Part 1)Ukugijimela ukuzigcina uphilileby Gisella Winkler(Ingxenye yoku-1) Libhalwe nguGisella WinklerIt was a warm morning. The sun shone and
people everywhere were smiling. But for Thembi,
it felt like one of the worst days of her life.Kwakuyisikhathi sasekuseni kufudumele. Lalikhanya kahle ilanga, futhi abantu
babemamatheka yonke indawo. Kodwa kuThembi lokhu kwakuzwakala
njengosuku olubi kunazo zonke empilweni yakhe.“The doctor doesn’t think I should run the
marathon,” she told her brother, as they walked
out of the surgery. She felt angry and hurt.“Udokotela akacabangi ukuthi ngifanele ukugijima emqhudelwaneni wokugijima
ibanga elide,” watshela umfowabo, ngesikhathi bephuma egunjini likadokotela
ozisebenzayo. Wazizwa egcwele intukuthelo futhi ephatheke kabi.“He is worried about your health, Thembi,” Thabo
said gently. “The Comrades is 89km long. It is a
“Others have done it,” Thembi replied.
“But they are not HIV positive,” said Thabo.“Udokotela ukhathazekile ngempilo yakho, Thembi,” kusholo phansi uThabo.
“I-Comrades ingamakhilomitha angama-89. Ingumqhudelwano onzima.”
“Abanye bayigijimile,” kuphendula uThembi.Illustration by Phillipa Allen
Imidwebo yenziwe Phillipa Allen“Kodwa abatholakalanga bephila negciwane lesandulelangculazi,” kusho uThabo.
“Ngaqala ukugijima ngenxa yokuphila negciwane lesandulelangculazi,” kusho
uThembi emkhumbuza. “Nguwe owangifaka kukho. Wathi ukutholakala ukuthi
uphila negciwane lesandulelangculazi akusho ukuthi sewugwetshelwe intambo.
Wangitshela ukuthi ngiyeke ukuzidabukela waphinde wathi kumele ngizivocavoce
ukuze ngigcine umzimba wami uphilile.”“I started running, because I am HIV positive,” Thembi reminded him. “You are
the one who got me into it. You said HIV is not a death sentence. You told me
to stop feeling sorry for myself and said I should do some exercise to keep my
Thembi was right. When she found out that she was HIV positive, her brother
had encouraged her to take better care of her body. Together they had started
to run and then they had entered their first race together.Wayeqinisile uThembi. Ngesikhathi ethola ukuthi uphila negciwane
lesandulelangculazi, umfowabo wamgqugquzela ukuthi awunakekela kahle
umzimba wakhe. Baqala ukugijima ndawonye futhi babengenele umqhudelwano
wabo wokugijima wokuqala ndawonye.“Let’s do it again, Thabo!” Thembi said. “Let’s train together. I really, really want
to run the Comrades Marathon.”“Ake siphinde futhi, Thabo!” kusho uThembi. “Asizilolonge ndawonye. Ngikufuna
ngempela ukugijima i-Comrades Marathon.”The following weekend, Thabo and Thembi met with friends from their running
club who were preparing for the Comrades Marathon.Ngempelasonto elandelayo, uThabo noThembi bahlangana nabangani babo
beqembu lokugijima ababezilungiselela ukugijima i-Comrades Marathon.“We must start running longer distances,” said Patrick. He had run the
Comrades before and was the leader of their team. “Our bodies must learn to
keep going, even if we are tired.“Kumele siqale ukugijima amabanga amajana,” kusho uPatrick. Wayeke wayigijima
i-Comrades ngaphambilini futhi wayengumholi weqembu labo. “Kumele sifundise
imizimba yethu ukuqhubeka noma sizwa ukuthi sikhathele.His wife, Lina agreed with him.Unkosikazi wakhe, uLina, wavumelana naye.“We have to build up endurance. It is time on the legs that counts.”“Kumele sizijwayeze ukumelana nezimo. Isikhathi esisigijimayo esibalulekile.”Running 30 km was hard for Thembi. It was longer than her usual run. She got
very tired, but she did not give up. When the others saw that she was struggling,
they encouraged her.Kwakunzima kuThembi ukugijima amakhilomitha angama-30. Ibanga lalilide
kunalelo ayejwayele ukuligijima. Wazizwa esekhathele kakhulu kodwa akazange
ayeke. Abanye bamgqugquzela ngesikhathi bebona ukuthi uyehluleka.“Keep going,” Patrick told her. “Think of taking one step at a time.”
“Breathe deeply,” advised Linda.“Qhubeka,” kusho uPatrick kuye. “Cabanga ngokude uthatha isinyathelo esisodwa
ngesikhathi esisodwa.”“I know you can do it!” said Thabo as he ran beside her.“Donsa kakhulu umoya,” kucebisa uLinda.
“Ngiyazi ukuthi ungakwazi ukukwenza lokhu!” kusho uThabo ngesikhathi egijima
eceleni kwakhe.After two months of regular training, Thembi was more
confident. She could feel her body getting stronger. She
was ready to try to run a longer distance.Ngemva kwezinyanga ezimbili zokuzilolonga, uThembi wayesezethemba kakhulu.
Wayewuzwa umzimba wakhe uya ngokuba namandla. Wayesekulungele
ukugijima amabanga amajana.Find out next week whether Thembi
will be ready for the race of her life.Thola ngesonto elizayo ukuthi ngabe uThembi
