This week we will work on finding cause and effect relationships in our readings. Every effect is caused by something. As readers, we need to be aware of the causes for the characters actions. This skill aids reading comprehension as it requires students to first think about what is causing the things to happen in a story.
Readers will learn a catchy little tune in class this week. Feel free to sing along..... Remember The Adam's Family Song????
"Cause and Effect SNAP SNAP
Cause and Effect SNAP SNAP
You will know the cause it came first.
It caused the effect to burst.
So read before to learn why.
If you look back the text won't lie!"
The book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie has many examples of cause and effect. We will be watching a DVD this week of this story and recording the examples we find. Be sure you ask your growing reader to find an example of cause and effect in their book.
