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 B1 from The Critical Thinking Company uses higher-order thinking to improve reading comprehension for seventh- and eighth-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 B1 Grades 7–8 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.

Teach your child how to read and think as God would have him or her with Reading Detective B1 from The Critical Thinking Company. Order today from Curriculum Express!
