Reading Detective's®
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.
(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
Gr. 6–12+ improve their comprehension skills. Reading level is Gr. 4–6;
story content is Gr. 6-12.)
Includes pretests, posttests, lesson guidelines, and answers with detailed evidence.
Reading and literary analysis skills are based on grade-level standards.
Both software and book versions
provide the same engaging
deductive thinking activities.
