Cause and Effect can be a tricky lesson to teach. It usually takes students multiple exposures to understand and master it. I want to share with you how I teach it. I use multiple resources, including several read alouds, picture sorts, flip books, and writing.
This picture sort will help students to visualize and think about what the cause and effect are. Thisworks great in a pocket chart.
This graphic organizer can be used with any story. Students can draw or write their answer.
Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type is a great book for teaching cause and effect. I have included this craft and graphic organizer, cause and and effect word cards, and a circle map.
I also have a craft, graphic organizer, Thinking Map, and cause and effect cards for Bear Wants More.
There are additional discussion questions that can be used with any book that has a cause and effect.I know your class enjoys all of these activities!
