Using the Nal'ibali supplements at your club
Reading clubs across South Africa are sharing with us how they
are using the Nal’ibali supplements. Clubs use them in different
ways depending on their own book supply and the other
resources they have, as well as the age range of the children.
•	Take	them	home Create a lending library for reading club members so
that they can borrow the books and story cards to read at home with family
members. Also, how about sharing information with the children’s parents
and other caregivers by sending home page 1 of the supplement for them
•	Read	to	a	group	Choose one of the mini-books from the
supplement to use in a read-aloud session. Let the children
follow in their own copies as you read to them. Then try
some of the ‘Get story active’ activity ideas – they
extend and deepen the children’s understanding
•	Make resources to use again Take the mini-book pages
(pages 3 – 6) out of the supplement and on your
own or with the children make these into
books for the club. Use the longer ‘Story
corner’ stories (on page 8) to create story
cards by pasting them onto pieces of
card and covering them with plastic.
•	Read	alone	and	in	pairs Let the children
choose which book or story card they
would like to read with a volunteer or
partner. Invite older children to also read
on their own or to younger children.
•	Support biliteracy Both you and the
children can have fun learning to
read in two languages by reading
the mini-books first in your most
familiar language and then in the
•	Store stories Find something in
which to store your supplement
books and story cards –
like a shoe-box – and
then keep them in
a special place at
the club, so that
if they want to read
or borrow them.
•	Tell	stories Become familiar with the
‘Story corner’ stories and then use these
stories for storytelling.

can make their own little libraries
at home by collecting the
supplement stories. Older
children might like to start
small book clubs of their
own by inviting other
children to come to
their homes to share the
Ukusebenzisa izithasiselo zeNal'ibali
ethimbeni lokufunda lakho
Amathimba okufunda eNingizimu Afrika yonkana abelana nathi
ngokuthi azisebenzisa kanjani izithasiselo zeNal’ibali. Amathimba
azisebenzisa ngezindlela ezahlukene ezincike emabhukwini
kanye nezinye izinsiza anazo, nokushiyana kweminyaka
yezingane. Nanka amanye amacebo eningathanda ukuwazama:
•	Yenzani izinsiza enizophinde nizisebenzise futhi Thatha amakhasi ebhukwana
(amakhasi 3 – 6) esithasiselweni bese wena noma nezinye izingane nenze
lokhu kube ngamabhukwana ethimba. Sebenzisani izindaba ezinde ze-‘Khona
lezindaba’ (ekhasini 8) ukuze nizenzele amakhadi ezindaba enizowanamathisela
ezingqwembeni bese niwakhava ngoplastiki.
•	Sekani ukufunda ngezilimi ezimbili Izinhlangothi zombili, wena kanye
nezingane zakho, ningazithokozisa ngokufunda ngezilimi ezimbili ngokufunda
amabhukwana ngolimi enilujwayele kuqala bese nifunda nangalolu olunye futhi.
•	Gcinani izindaba Tholani into enizogcina amabhukwana ezithasiselo kanye
namakhadi ezindaba kuyo – efana nebhokisi lezicathulo – bese nikugcina
endaweni yethimba ekhethekile, ukuze izingane zazi ukuthi zizokuthola kuphi
uma zifuna ukukufunda noma ukukuboleka.
•	Hambani nakho ekhaya Yakhani umtapo wezincwadi okubolekwa kuwona
izincwadi namakhadi ezindaba amalungu ethimba lokufunda ukuze akufunde
ekhaya namalungu emindeni yawo. Kunganjani futhi ukuthi nabelane nabazali
kanye nabanakekela izingane ngolwazi ngokuthumela ekhaya ikhasi loku-1
lesithasiselo ukuze balifunde?
•	Fundelani ithimba Khethani ibhukwana eliphuma ezithasiselweni bese
nilisebenzisa ngesikhathi sokufunda kuzwakale. Vumela izingane ukuthi
zilandele indaba ezincwadini zazo ngesikhathi uzifundela. Zamani amanye
amacebo emisebenzi ‘Yokwenza indaba ihlabe umxhwele’ – lokhu kwandisa
futhi kugxilisa ukuqonda kwezingane indaba.
•	Fundani ngabanye noma ngababili Vumela izingane ukuthi zikhethe incwadi
noma ikhadi lezindaba ezithanda ukukufunda nozinikele noma nomlingani. Cela
izingane ezindadlana ukuthi zizifundele noma zifundele izingane ezisencane.
•	Xoxani izindaba Zijwayezeni izindaba ze-‘Khona lezindaba’ bese nisebenzisela
lezi zindaba ukuxoxa izindaba.
•	Sabalalisani ulwazi Izingane zingenza imitapo yezincwadi emincane yazo
ekhaya ngokuqoqa izindaba zezithasiselo. Izingane ezindadlana zingathanda
ukuqala awazo amathimba okufunda ngokumema ezinye izingane ukuthi zize
emakubo ukuze zabelane ngezindaba zezithasiselo.

Here is a story for you to read-aloud or tell. It is
about a duckling who looks very different from other
ducklings and who feels unloved and unwanted.
Nansi indaba eningayifunda kuzwakale noma eningayixoxa.
Imayelana nodado obukeka ehlukile kwabanye futhi ozizwa
engathandwa futhi engafunwa
Once upon a time there was a duckling who lived on a wide open vlei
with his family. He was a sad little duck because nobody seemed to like
him, not even his own brothers and sisters.
Kudala emandulo kwakukhona uDado owayehlala exhaphozini elikhulu,
elivulekile nomndeni wakhe. Wayegcwele usizi enhliziyweni yakhe ngoba
kwakungekho muntu omthandayo, ngisho nabafowabo nodadewabo
Ixoxwa nguSindiwe Magona
Retold by Sindiwe Magona
‘Ugly duckling! That is what everybody calls me. Nobody loves me!’
‘Dado omubi! Wonke umuntu ungibiza kanjena. Akekho umuntu ongithandayo!’
‘That’s not true, darling! Mama loves you!’ said Mama Duck. She smiled at
her last-hatched chick. He was a strange little fellow but still she loved him
‘Akulona iqiniso lelo, sithandwa sami! UMama ukuthanda kakhulu!’ kusho
uMama uDada. UMama uDada wamoyizela ebheke ichwane lakhe
elichamisele ekugcineni. Wayengajwayelekile neze! Kwakuwumntanakhe futhi
wayemthanda ngenhliziyo yakhe yonke.
The other birds on the wide open vlei teased the ugly duckling. ‘You’re
not fluffy and yellow like your brothers and sisters,’ whispered the spiteful
blue crane. ‘You’re bigger than the rest,’ laughed
the haughty black coot. ‘You’re ugly!’ they all said
Izinyoni ababehlala nazo exhaphozini nazo
zazigcona uDado omubi. ‘Awunabo uboya obuphuzi
nobuntofontofo njengodadewenu nabafowenu,’
kunyenyeza indwe enenhliziyo embi. Umkhulu kunabo
bonke abanye,’ kuhleka inyoni emnyama. ‘Umubi!’
kusho zonke izinyoni kanyekanye.
No one ever cuddled the ugly duckling and he felt
very lonely. But when he ate, he forgot that he was
lonely. So he ate and ate and ate. And he grew
Akekho noyedwa owayeke wasingatha uDado,
lokhu kwakumenza azizwe enesizungu. Kodwa
kwakuthi uma edla, akhohlwe ngosizi lwakhe. Ngakho
waqhubeka nokuzitika ngokudla. Waqhubeka waya
ngokuya eba mkhulu, eba mkhulu, eba mkhulu.
One day the ugly duckling felt so miserable that a
single tear fell from one eye. Trying to stop more
tears from falling, he looked down. Then, he saw his
reflection. He gasped! Everyone was right. He really
Ngelinye ilanga uDado wazizwa edangele kwaze
kwehla unyembezi olulodwa ehlweni lakhe. Wabheka
phansi ukuze avimbele ukuwa kwemvula yezinyembezi.
Wazibona emanzini. Wamangala! Bonke babeqinisile.
The ugly duckling ran away. He wanted to go far,

any ducks with grey feathers like me?’ he asked. But the huge birds just
shouted, ‘HAA-DEE-DAA! Go away!’
Ngemuva kwezinsuku eziningi engaboni muntu, wahlangana nomhlambi
wamagwababa asabekayo. Wayewesaba kancane, kodwa wayefuna iseluleko
kuwona. ‘Ngabe niyawazi amadada anezimpaphe ezimpunga njengezami?’
ebuza amagwababa. Kodwa izinyoni ezinkulu zavele zamemeza, ‘GWA-GWAGWA! Suka lapha!’

She looked at the postcard again. There was a
