Vocabulary Strategy for Endings Sometimes when you are reading, you may come across a word you dont know. Look closely at the word. Does it have -s at the end? The ending -s is often added to a noun to make the word plural, or mean more than one. Try to use the ending to help you figure out the meaning of the word. home

1.Put your finger over the -s ending 2.Look at the base word. (Thats the word without the ending.) Do you know what the base word means? 3.Try your meaning in the sentence. Does it make sense? Read Bulbs to Blooms. Look for words that have the -s ending, and write them in your journal. home

Cause and Effect A cause tells why something happened. An effect is what happened. Words such as because and so are clues that can help you figure out a cause and its effect.
