Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Read each sentence once for meaning before introducing the two colored underlines.

  • Ask learners to restate one marked pair using because or so to test the relationship.

Skills covered

  • Causal reasoning — readers connect an event with its result.

  • Sentence analysis — relationship parts are marked within continuous text.

  • Signal-word awareness — varied connectors support interpretation without a single formula.
