New Reading Comprehension Skill -- Searching for the Cause and Effect Activities

Hello All,

I put in a new product in the store last night.  We are getting ready to cover Cause and Effect again. So, I was trying to make some activities that would extend and expand what we've already covered with Cause and Effect.  So, here is what I came up with!

There are 3 Anchor charts. This one and of course one for Effect and then one for Signal Words.

Then there is the standard match the cause with effect task cards. There are 2 sets. One is shown below and the other is the same except they say either Cause or Effect on them.  If some of your learners are struggling or need more support this differentiates the activity for you.

A "worksheet" for extra practice or an end of unit assessment.

Next, to extend the learning with the task cards and help students understand that a cause and an effect of one event can cause more than one things to happen. So, they pick a cause or effect from the matching cards and then write another effect for it.

Then for these effect cards students will name 2 causes for each effect.  

Then there are 3 different writing activities included within all of these activities.

I think this is a pretty comprehensive unit with many choices in activities.  I think they are somewhat different than other packets available. It's in the store already and it's only $3.50. There are many different levels of difficulty for all levels of learners.  I hope you'll go to my STORE.

Thanks,

Ms. Francisco

New Product in TPT store!! Drawing Conclusions Matching Activity

Hello All,

I have some exciting news. I just uploaded my first product into my TPT store.  Drawing Conclusions is a challenging skill to teach students.  So, I have created a matching Drawing Conclusion activity that includes a short "story" on one card with a picture clue and a conclusion on another card.  The students use the story, picture clue, and what they know to help them draw a conclusion and then match the story to the conclusion.

The set includes a graphic organizer to record what clue from the story, what they knew, and what they concluded.  A second set of matching cards is included for struggling readers that includes the pictures on both the story card and the conclusion card to aid them in matching.

There are 8 story cards with the 8 matching cards in the set.  Just print and laminate for durability. It includes a student direction page that could be laminated for your Center/Workstation as well.

I used this last week with my small group. They really enjoyed reading the stories and finding the match. They felt so successful and they had little difficulty in finding the matches so it would be perfect for Center/Workstations as well as small groups.

I know your students will enjoy this activity because my students did! :)  Next time I'll have to remember to take a picture.

I hope you'll check it out!  Go here to Going Frananas TPT Store
