Reading Detective's® standards-based critical thinking
activities develop the analysis, synthesis, and vocabulary skills
students need for exceptional reading comprehension. The activities
are especially effective at helping students 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. (Software questions are all multiple-choice.)
The grades 3–4 (Beginning) and grades 6–12+ remedial (RX) levels are organized into single-skills
units with a concluding mixed-skills unit. The grades 5–6 (A1) and 7–8 (B1) levels include mixed-skills
throughout. All levels provide an introductory lesson for each skill.
(RX activities are "prescriptive" to help under-performing students in grades 6–12+ improve their
comprehension skills. Reading level is grades 4–6; story content is grades 6+.)
Includes pretests, post-tests, lesson guidelines, and answers with detailed evidence. Reading and literary analysis skills are based on grade-level standards.
Choose one or the other. Both provide the same engaging stories and critical thinking (comprehension)
questions. Review the features listed below for additional benefits offered by the
