Signal words for cause and effect texts include because, since, as a result, if/then, therefore, due to, and for.  \nCircle the text's signal words and underline the causes and effects.  \nStudents often rush out the door without eating breakfast, especially if they have to leave early in the morning. However, after sleeping all night long, the body has gone at least ten hours without food. As a result, its energy supply is low! The human brain depends on glucose, which is a type of sugar found in food, for fuel. The brain can’t store large amounts of glucose. For this reason, it depends on getting glucose from meals. After not eating all night, breakfast helps refill this energy so the brain can function well during the day.  \nWhen a student has low energy, it can affect their memory and their problemsolving skills. Students who have low energy may process information more slowly. This may make it harder for students to remember what they just read or complete a math problem with several steps. Students may start to get frustrated with their schoolwork if this happens a lot.  \nIn addition to causing frustration, regularly skipping breakfast may impact academic performance. Students who have trouble concentrating and are less focused may have trouble learning new information. This can add up over time, and students’ grades may start to drop. This is not because these students lack ability; it’s because their brains are not receiving the energy they need in the morning! Skipping breakfast every day can lead to lower academic performance.  \nIt’s normal for school mornings to feel rushed, but it’s important to remember that even a small meal can make a big difference. Foods like fruit, yogurt, eggs, or whole-grain toast can help increase students’ energy levels. Because breakfast fuels the body and the brain,  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \nstudents who eat in the morning are better prepared to concentrate, participate and succeed throughout the day!  \nWhat are six examples of cause and effect in this passage? You may put them in your own words.  \n1.  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n2.  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n3.  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________________________________________  \n4.  \n5.  \n6.  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nAnswers  \nAccept any cause/effect relationship from the text. Answers may include:  \n1.  As a result of going many hours without food, the body’s energy supply is low.  \n2.  Because the brain does not store large amounts of glucose, it depends on a steady supply of energy from meals.  \n3.  If a student has low energy, memory and problem-solving skills may be affected.  \n4. Since the brain is working with limited fuel, it may process information more slowly.  \n5.  Because students have trouble concentrating and are less focused, they may have trouble learning new information.  \n6. Skipping breakfast every day can lead to lower academic performance.","cbCaivvkuVK8ooXZ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivvkuVK8ooXZ","pdf",109924,"English","# Cause and Effect\n## Text Structure and Signal Words\n## Reading Passage: Breakfast and Learning\n## Questions: Six Examples\n## Answers","[{\"question\":\"What is the cause and effect text structure in this worksheet?\",\"answer\":\"Cause and effect explains what happened and why it happened.
