Thanks Rachel! These were so engaging, and the students practiced so many good ELA skills – reading fluency, reading comprehension, and critical thinking.

Loved the resource and students were able to use it easily.

My students have struggled with inference. The mystery aspect seemed a natural way to encourage this. Their fluency was enhanced with repeated readings. It encourages great conversations. Above all, the kids loved them and can’t wait for our next one!

My kids go absolutely feral for Readers Theaters! They love being able to play a role and it’s a great and engaging way to hit those reading comprehension, speaking and listening standards! The added mystery ‘whodunnit’ aspect is just a extra bonus!

My students LOVE these! They are completely engaged and love being detectives. The reader’s theater mysteries give my students opportunities to use problem solving and critical thinking skills. They are able to infer much better than before and beg to do another one every Monday. I would definitely purchase more if you have them.

My students loved doing this during 2-3 library classes. They were very motivated toeach have a part and the mystery aspect kept them very engaged in the reader’s theater. They had some great table discussions and loved sharing their reasons of who they were suspicious of. I gave a small reward to students who guessed the suspect correctly. As soon as it was over, they asked if we could do another one! I’m so glad their was a bundle available to purchase! Thank you!
