CAUSE and EFFECTThe cause is why something happens.
The effect is what happens. Identifying cause and effect relationships within a story can help readers to focus on two important elements of comprehension: what happens in the story and why it happened. Looking for cause and effect gives readers an opportunity to look carefully at the consequences of characters' actions and to think about how different actions might have different effects. Remember... a cause is an action or event the makes something else (the effect) happen. Clue words such as because, so, and since sometimes signal a cause-effect relationship. Sometimes you must figure out for yourself that one thing causes another.
