Mystery Reading

Sooooo reading by far is my favorite subject to teach!  I love to read many different books, and ultimately, I love instilling this same love and passion for reading in my students!

In third grade, we have an amazing reading unit... Mystery Book Clubs!  My kids loved this unit. Not only were they reading more than ever, but my students were digging deeply into their mysteries to solve them. Yes!  They were doing it!  My students were comprehending, discussing, predicting, and making inferences...AND THEY DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT!
