Whodunnit???

We have officially kicked off our genre study unit with one of my favorites: mysteries! We will be indulging in all things mystery - reading groups and book clubs, read-alouds, and mysteries of the day. As we continue to read and listen to more and more mysteries, we will discover the important elements that make up a mystery. So far, we've learned what a detective is/does/looks like, and what the importance of a clue is. In the next few weeks, we'll learn more about the culprit, problem and solution, the "red herring", and how predictions can help support our reading of mysteries. At home, you can support your child by reading mysteries and making predictions along the way. Have your child point out the elements, too!

Our Mystery Word Collector is available for reference during reading and writing.
