Activity 2 / Cause and Effect Worksheet
Reading sentences is the first step to your child’s future of composing grammatically correct and meaningful sentences. Most sentences have a cause and an effect.

At the bottom of the page are four options, which are appropriate completions for the sentences at the top. Help your kids check the letter of the effect for each cause.
