Reading Detective® Rx Book
Description & Features
The standards-based critical thinking activities of Reading Detective®
develop the analysis, synthesis, and vocabulary skills children need for
exceptional reading comprehension. The activities are especially effective
at helping children understand more challenging reading concepts such as
drawing inferences, making conclusions, determining cause-and-effect, and
using context clues to define vocabulary.
Students read and analyze short literature passages and stories that include fiction and nonfiction genres. Then they answer multiple-choice and short-response questions, citing sentence evidence to support their answers.
The grades 6–12+ remedial (RX) level is organized into single-skill units with a concluding mixed-skills unit and provides an introductory lesson for each skill.
(RX activities are "prescriptive" to help underperforming students in grades 6–12+ improve their comprehension skills. Reading level is grades 4–6; story content is grades 6+.)
Teaching Support Includes pretests, post-tests, lesson guidelines, and answers with detailed evidence. Reading and literary analysis skills are based on grade-level standards.
