This easy-1 sheet introduces cause and effect with short sentence pairs. Children sort six simple sentence parts into Cause or Effect boxes, complete fill-in-the-blank items using the signal word because, and answer four true or false questions. The focus is identifying the cause, the reason something happens. Scenarios use familiar Grade 2 contexts like rain, plants, and lost jackets to build confidence and lock in the basic idea.
