This was a great resource to help my students practice cause and effect. It was engaging for them and they were able to work in partners to practice the skill.
BETHANY D. –
My students LOVED this resource! They have begged for more like this. I have been on a search for this type of activity for each skill that I teach because they loved it so much! GREAT resource!

I used these to help students in 5th grade who struggle with the concept of cause and effect. I think it helped bridge the gap for some! Highly recommend even at the 5th grade level!
Chasity G. –
My students loved interacting with the task cards on Easel. This was my first TpT activity to use on Easel and it was so easy.
Eleanor C. –
After teaching cause and effect, I had students practice cause and effect using this resource. I split it up as Partner Work, Individual Work, and Quiz. This was a great resource because for my students that have a difficult time reading there was the option to have it read aloud.
Amy P. –
Great resource. I laminated the cards and use in one on one settings with my students. I has helped tremendously with reading intervention.
Kelli H. –
These are perfect if you have 5ish minutes left and need a filler or as an exit ticket task! I even use them as task boxes for students while I’m assessing another student. Love all of them!
Laura Leary –
These task cards are such an engaging way to practice cause and effect. I love that I can use the digital version or paper one. Thanks!
Carrie N. –
I love these resources and have a few of similar ones from this creator in my classroom. They are colorful and eye-appealing. They are a quick practice which is not overwhelming to students. You could use them as Scoot, whole class review, or in centers. They are great!

This was a great resource to use during Glow Games. Kiddos had a great time reviewing content with these task cards and fun games!
