Instructions
- Read the story aloud.
- Ask "What happened?" or "Tell me the part of the story that says what happened."
- Ask "Why did it happen?" or "look at the story. What reason does the story give?"
Cause and Effect: Why Did It Happen?
Learners read short, concrete stories that include one clear event and one clear cause. After each story, they answer two questions: “What happened?” (identify the effect) and “Why did it happen?” (identify the cause given in the story). This task builds early causal reasoning, supports reading comprehension, and teaches learners to link actions and outcomes using simple, observable events.
