This Grade 2 hard-1 sheet uses short one-to-two sentence passages about everyday scenarios like weather, school events, pets, and family activities. Four multiple-choice questions ask students to pick the correct cause or effect from four options. Five fill-in items follow the passages with deeper signal-word practice.
