Reading Detective's standards-based critical thinking activities develop the analysis, synthesis, and vocabulary skills children need for exceptional reading comprehension. The activities are especially effective at helping them to understand more challenging reading concepts such as drawing inferences, determining cause and effect, and using context clues to define vocabulary.

First, read and analyze short literature excerpts and stories that include fiction and nonfiction content. Then answer multiple-choice and short-response questions, citing sentence-level evidence to support the answers. (The software uses all multiple-choice questions.)
