A new cause/effect strategy!

·

I am always looking to figure out new ways to get my kids to understand and express their understanding of higher level concepts!

While working on cause/effect, with groups of all ages and levels, I came up with a visual on the fly!

As with any concept, there are multiple ways to teach cause/effect. Click through to read this brief blog post that explains a new cause/effect strategy that I recently started using with students in my speech therapy sessions! It's fun, simple, and effective!

I apologize for my VERY dirty dry erase board!!!!!!  With that said,  I made a visual to show the directions of cause/effect.  Whether I was showing students a picture, sentence, or story, students were introduced, modeled, prompted, and then expected to use independently this visual.

After each stimuli, they were asked the questions, “what am I asking for?” They had to respond with cause/effect.  Depending on the level, the question might have been the exact words cause/effect, for others, they questions said reason/result.  Then, students were asked “which do we know?”  With models and samples, my students learned, if I am asking for ____ then the question stated the other one!  That means we start there!  Which way do we need to go to get the cause or effect (whichever was being asked)?  I showed them the phrase to use either “because” or “so then” based on the direction going!

They did so well!  They started prompting themselves!!
