I am piloting a reading program this year and between units, I am working on a variety of skills and this mystery unit is perfect! It is engaging and easy enough for my older students to work independently, and the youngers can have help from their classmates if needed. Thank you!

I teach the Units of Study (by Lucy Calkins)…this product went great with our Mystery Unit. We read chapter books in book clubs but need short mysteries for a couple of lessons. These were just right for our class!
Thank you!

This resource has everything you need to teach a mysteries unit. I appreciate how the graphic organizers tie in reading skills such as main idea and making connections. I am especially excited about the mystery short stories. It is always a challenge to find materials I can use with small groups that are fairly quick to read, yet still allow us to practice the skills we are working on. These are just perfect, and they also include reading response questions. Thanks for this great resource!

This has been a perfect resource for my gifted student. She needed something more advanced than I was giving the rest of the class. It is engaging and meets her academic needs.
