Grade 4 · Reading · Lesson 22

Read About Global Issues

Texts about global issues — such as climate change, water scarcity, or poverty — are usually structured around three key ideas: the Problem (what is wrong), the Cause (why it is happening), and the Solution (what can be done). Recognizing this structure helps you read and remember complex nonfiction.
