I was working one on one with a student the other day. She has trouble with identifing cause and effect. How I thought she might see the direct corrolation between cause and effect is labeling them. We read through a book after a discussion on cause and effect. While reading she would read a few pages and then stop and think about if there was a cause and then what would the effect have been. In the book she labled each. Then we had a discussion on why she choose those and then would continue reading. This was done through the whole book. At the end we got to do a worksheet where she was given the causes from the book. Some where the ones she had already found but some where more broad causes so she had to think about them more. The labling helped her to look back and think about why certain things happened because of a cause. This was a fun way to get the student actively reading and making her think more critically about the book.
