Easter Reading Comprehension Mystery Activity Game – The Bunny’s Basket Burglary

Description The Case of the Bunny’s Basket Burglary is one of the mysteries in my ‘Junior Reading Mystery – Once Upon a Crime’ series. It is structured and packaged differently from my more challenging Once Upon a Crime Reading Mysteries . The mysteries in this range are easier and target 1st Grade and 2nd Grade students (please note that the level of difficulty for your students may vary depending on reading abilities). Skills The Junior Reading Mysteries are designed to help children improve a variety of skills. These include: Reading: Children will read the mysteries and follow along with the story. Comprehension : They’ll need to understand the text to answer questions, encouraging them to think about what they’ve read. Vocabulary: One page includes word clues that children will match with pictures, helping them learn new words and their meanings. Spelling: The final clue page provides an opportunity for some spelling practice on some words. Guided Deductive Reasoning: As they answer the comprehension questions, they will be guided as to which character to eliminate at the end of each clue. What’s included in this Junior Reading Mystery resource packet? This pack includes the combined option of choosing either the digital graphic game or the printable worksheets option.
