Vocabulary

This is the fun way to learn new vocabulary!

These popular, easy-to-use detective cases are suitable for Grades 5 - 12+.

The vocabulary in these mysteries were gathered from a multitude of sources including SAT and ACT word lists and the author's reading selections.

Merriam Webster's online dictionary provided many of the details about the words including usage, look-up history, synonyms and antonyms.

Students must identify the meaning of new vocabulary as they try to uncover the subtle clues hidden in the statements from witnesses and suspects.

Each mystery requires careful reading, critical thinking, and synthesizing information to identify the innocent and guilty.

The cases also develop observation skills, reading comprehension, deductive and inductive thinking skills.

Learning to identify and evaluate evidence is the very heart of critical thinking.

Help your students improve their reading comprehension with this focused approach.

Reading Comprehension Fundamentals provides you tools to target the reading skills and strategies with which students need the most help.

The 32 skill-based units include fiction and nonfiction texts, a variety of practice activities, and a unit review.

The comprehensive units guide students to develop a deep understanding of each skill, strategy, and genre introduced with a simple teach, practice, and asess approach.
