Cause and Effect

• We can learn more from reading when we try to understand why things happen. First, we need to think about what happened in a story. Then we try to find why those things happened.

• The sailors call for help. Why? • The Coast Guard gets the helicopter ready. Why? • The Coast Guard and Jayhawk are back at the

base. Why?

Review SequenceIn a story something happens first, something happens

next, and something happens last.

After the swimmer reached the sailors, what happened next?

What happened last in the story?
