In this age of “txt-speak,” sound bites, and YouTube videos, your child’s reading comprehension can suffer. Students need critical-thinking skills to understand the information that bombards them every day! Reading Detective A1 from The Critical Thinking Company uses higher-order thinking to improve reading comprehension for fifth- and sixth-grade students.

The standards-based critical-thinking activities of Reading Detective® develop the analysis, synthesis, and vocabulary skills students need for exceptional reading comprehension. The activities help students understand challenging reading concepts, such as:

• Drawing inferences
• Making conclusions
• Determining cause-and-effect
• 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. Reading Detective A1 Grades 5–6 level includes mixed-skills throughout and provides an introductory lesson for each skill. Teaching Support Includes pretests, post-tests, lesson guidelines, and answers with detailed evidence.
