CAUSE AND EFFECT

A cause makes something happen.

The result of what happens is the effect.

Let's say a cause-and-effect sentence.

Lumkin was sad because ..... there was no bread to eat.

Make Inferences

Authors don't always tell readers everything.

Sometimes readers have to use the information in the text and what they already know to understand the text fully.

Why doesn't Pixie want to wake up the shoemakers?

Why do Amelia and Diego spy on the elves?

What keeps Amelia and Diego from showing themselves to the elves?
