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 questions, citing sentence evidence to support their answers.

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.

Teaching Support

Includes reports, lesson guidelines, and answers with detailed evidence. Reading and literary analysis skills are based on grade-level standards.
