Includes half-page and full-page size. Graphic Organizer Anchor Chart - This shows how cause and effect interact and how key words can help you identify which is which. Cause and Effect Sort - Students determine which cards are causes, which are effects, and then put them together. Some of the cards have similar “story lines” so students will have to decide which pairs make the most sense. Includes 40 cards and cause/effect heading cards. Worksheets - Includes two pages plus answer keys. On the first worksheet, students match each cause with its effect and then write their own sentences to complete cause/effect pairs.

HOW TO USE THIS RESOURCE I suggest using the posters to introduce the concepts of cause and effect and then hang for student reference. The graphic organizer anchor chart is great for use during small group reading and can also be used along with the cause/effect sorting cards for extra support. Students can place the cards in the boxes on the graphic organizer to help them check their work and see if their matches make sense. The sorting cards can be placed in centers as a simple matching task or as a concentration-style memory game. You can even pass them out to the whole class as a “find your partner” activity. The worksheets are appropriate for practice or assessment.
