Signal words for problem and solution texts include problem, because, in order to, one reason for, a solution, since, may be due to, therefore, as a result and solve.  \nCircle the text's signal words, underline the problem(s), and put a squiggly line under the solution(s).  \nDo you like playing video games, watching TV or using a tablet? Lots of kids do! Screens can be both educational and fun to use for entertainment. Looking at screens too much, though, has become a big problem for children and adults. It’snot uncommon for people to spend hours and hours a day looking at screens   and it’s not good!  \nToo much screen time can affect your body and your mind. When people sit and look at screens all day, they move less and get less exercise. Their eyes can become tired and their backs may start to hurt because of how they sit. Using screens in the evening can also make it harder to fall asleep. Plus, those who spend too much time using their devices may miss chances to do other healthy activities, like play outside, read books or spend time with their family.  \nOne easy solution to this problem is to put limits on daily screen time usage. Families can create rules about how long screens should be used every day. For example, maybe children can only use screens for a certain amount of time on weekdays. Limits can help make sure there is still time for other activities!  \nScreens can be addictive, so another solution is reminding yourself of the activities you like to do that don’t involve screens. These may include playing sports, riding bikes, drawing pictures or reading books. When people remind themselves of the things they like to do that don’t include screens, they are less likely to feel the need to use screens.  \nA third solution that families can try is to create screen-free times. These are specific times throughout the day when everyone must turn off their screens. Many families do this during meals or right before bedtime. This gives everyone a chance to talk and relax without being interrupted.  \nThere’s no doubt that screen time can be a challenge, but thankfully there are many ways to solve the problem. With some small changes, it’s not hard to find a balance between screens and other activities!  \nUse your annotations to answer the questions below.  \n1.
