The full sheet, exactly as it prints.
This page is the worksheet’s home: see the whole sheet, download it or print it, and pass it on. Solving on screen happens in the class’s own activities on the Learning Path — this page is for the table, the kitchen and the fridge door.

What your child practices.
Cause and effect is the question readers ask forever: WHY did that happen? Pairing each what with its why (sun, rain, wind) trains the habit early, with pictures instead of print. The draw panel flips it round: your child draws a what, and YOU guess the why.
- Cause and effect matching
- Weather vocabulary
- Line drawing between columns
- Asking why
