Cause and Effect

For this short, upcoming week in Reading, we will be working again with determining causes and effects. Here are some helpful games, videos, and practice for this skill. Some of these will be used in class but would still be fun to watch again later. :)

Of course, there is also a new song for the kids to learn! One thing to remember is that the more senses you apply to when learning a skill, the easier that skill is to remember. Using songs when learning something helps kids (or anyone) make a visual, auditory, tactile, and verbal connection!
