Cause and Effect Comprehension Good readers look for cause-and-effect relationships. The reason an event happens is the cause, and what happens as a result is the effect. Finding these relationships helps readers focus on what happens in the story and why. As I read, I ask myself, “Why did that happen? What did that cause?”

Cause and Effect Let’s use the chart below to identify a cause-and-effect relationship from the selection “Bat Loves the Night” on Student Edition pages Cause:Effect:

Listening Comprehension You will be listening to a fiction story about a boy who had a chance to use his special talent in an important contest. Think about your own talents and times you have been in a competition. Fables are fiction stories that usually teach a lesson. When you listen to a fable, you should listen for the lesson that the story is trying to teach. I know that fables are often set long ago and far away. I know that it will teach a lesson, and that the lesson is usually at the end of the story. Remember that often one event in a story can cause other events to happen. A story may contain several causes and effects. Listen as I read “The Empty Pot” aloud. Listen to identify cause-and-effect relationships.

Listening Comprehension After Reading: What caused Ping’s seeds not to grow? The seed had been cooked, so it was impossible for them to grow. How did the other children grow beautiful flowers? They must have used different seeds. What lesson is taught in the fable? It is important to tell the truth, even when it is not easy to do so.

Robust Vocabulary The children rushed to the palace with their beautiful flowers, eagerly hoping to be chosen. If you are waiting eagerly for something, you are excited or anxious for it to happen. Who is more likely to wait eagerly, a child waiting for the ice cream truck or a child waiting in a dentist’s office? Ping transferred the seed into the rich black soil. If you transferred something, you moved it from one place to another. Would you have transferred your pencil if you switched it from your right hand to your left or if you turned it upside down to use the eraser?

Robust Vocabulary In the beginning of the story, the villagers feel contented with life in their village. If you are contented, you are happy with the way things are. I feel contented with the place that I live. Would you be contented with owning skates or a scooter? Mrs. Lark asked the villagers to collaborate with her to rescue Eloise. If you are going to work with others on a project, you are planning to collaborate with them. My sister and I will collaborate to bake a cake for our mom’s birthday. Could you collaborate on riding a bike or painting a mural?

Grammar: Present-Tense Verbs Verbs are words that show action. Every sentence must have at least one verb. Verbs can describe action in the past, present, or future. This is called tense. ran runs will run Ran is a past-tense verb because it tells about action that already happened. Runs is in present tense because the action is happening now. Will run is in future tense because the action will happen in the future.
