Cause and Effect Causes and effects are related. An effect is what happens. A cause is why it happens. Sometimes clue words, such as because and so, signal causes and effects. Other times you must figure out the causes and effects for yourself. Sometimes a cause has more than one effect.

Illustrator’s Craft An illustrator is a person who creates the art for an article or book. The illustrator makes choices about how to draw or paint for the text. Art can help you understand the setting, characters, mood, and plot of a story. Sometimes the art shows additional details or information that are not in the text.

Context Clues When a word you don’t seem to make sense in a sentence, it may be a multiple-meaning word. Look for context clues and predict other possible meanings. Write two meanings for each multiple choice word and circle the meaning used in the story.
