Cause: You open this email. Effect: Happier students! 😍


Cause and effect is everywhere.

➡️ You forgot your coffee this morning. Now you’re running on fumes. ☕😵
➡️ You finally sat down to lesson plan… and poof! The fire drill. 🚨
➡️ You gave your students a cause and effect worksheet… and got 25 blank stares. 😅

Just because cause and effect is everywhere in life, doesn't mean your students will get it...or that you'll enjoy teaching it.

Instead of just another worksheet, imagine students sorting and matching cause and effect pairs, actually engaging with the skill (and giving you fewer blank stares).

That’s exactly what these Cause and Effect Sentence Sorts do!

✅ Interactive, so kids see the relationships between sentences in the paragraph
✅ Hands-on, so it sticks
✅ Low-prep, because you have enough to do

👉 Grab em & get ready to see growth during reading!
