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 questions, citing sentence evidence to support their answers.
Beginning level is organized into single-skill units with a concluding mixed-skills unit and provides an introductory lesson for each skill.
Teaching Support Includes reports, lesson guidelines, and detailed explanations of answers. Reading and literary analysis skills are based on grade-level standards.
