Picture Books to Teach Cause and Effect
Do you ever say to your children, “If you don’t wash your hands, you will spread germs to your classmates.” or “If you finish your work early you can go outside.”? As teachers, we use cause and effect language every day however that doesn’t mean children fully understand the concept.
We teach cause and effect with everyday activities, but we often don’t think about this as intentional teaching!
So, what is cause and effect?
The cause is WHY something happens, and an effect is WHAT happened. Teaching cause and effect helps children academically but also with everyday life. Mathematics and science have much to do with cause and effect. And literacy would be boring without it because the stories would not be nearly as interesting. Helping children to tune into the language of cause and effect will help them to notice that it is a part of our daily world.
Picture books are a wonderful way to engage in a discussion about cause and effect because the illustrations support the meaning of the text and show cause and effect in action. Start with a picture walk to open a discussion around the key cause and effect moments. Reinforce that CAUSE is why something happened, and EFFECT is what happened.
