Super Student Sleuths

I use this book with classes of third grade gifted students. The cases keep them thinking, as they take notes on the cases and then discuss their findings with one another.

You figure out the mystery.

These books are great. They are really fun to play with your family or friends. You can even give out parts and and act the mystery out. In each mystery there are 3 pictures and some of the pictures you have to study and see what doesn't fit with the mystery. Its really fun!! I recomend it for anyone!!

challanging,interesting,worthwhile reading

Using this book to teach reading to 7-8th graders in a special education class. The students remain interested and get excited about reading these stories. The students are challanged, as well as feeling good about themselves because they have read a whole story and can still remember enough about it to make the final decision of guilty or innocent!Great Books!!!
