The difference between a 'Reading Mystery' and 'Literacy Mystery' in my range is the structure. A brief explanation below:
NEW Series: Junior Reading Mysteries - Designed for younger readers, this design is much simpler and easier than the other two reading mystery series. It comes with both printable and a digital graphic game option in the one pack.
The difference between a 'Reading Mystery' and 'Literacy Mystery' in my range is the structure. A brief explanation below:
- The 'Reading Mystery - Once Upon a Crime' series focuses mainly on reading, comprehension, finding evidence in the text, and vocabulary work. Answering questions will help students' discover letters to crack a clue code on each page. The clue will help students' narrow down a list of suspects to find the culprit! (This format is easier than the Private Eye CSI series).
- The 'Private Eye CSI - Literacy Mystery' series focuses on reading, comprehension, vocabulary work, with a heavy emphasis on inferring throughout. In this format, students must collect the information about characters and decide whether or not they could be a possible suspect. They then must continue to read through the mystery and use information given (plus some bonus clues) to eliminate any suspects and figure out who the culprit is. (This format is more challenging than the Once Upon a Crime series).
NEW Series: Junior Reading Mysteries - Designed for younger readers, this design is much simpler and easier than the other two reading mystery series. It comes with both printable and a digital graphic game option in the one pack.
