Reason Tracers

This worksheet asks students to read passages where the effect is already given, then underline all causes leading to that result. Learners analyze scenarios such as flooding, lateness, and café delays to identify how multiple factors contribute to one outcome. The exercise builds comprehension of multi-step reasoning and strengthens students’ ability to link textual details logically. The writing extension encourages them to compose their own cause-focused paragraph, reinforcing their understanding of interconnected events.
