Great value
Standards-aligned
This product offers practice in several different formats. It is user friendly and organized well. It is very straightforward, no graphics or color, providing an additional means to practice, review, and maintain the skill of identifying cause and effect. It is a good resource to use in small group, whole group, or center instruction, easy to prep, and a great time saver when additional skill practice is warrented.
