Students are actively using their critical thinking skills to determine answers in these detective worksheets! When all clues are complete, students will solve the mystery!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):Do these come with 3 clues or 5 clues?Both! There are 2 versions so you can use the version that works best with your class. Or, you could differentiate and use the 3 clue version with some students and the 5 clue version with other groups. Both versions lead to the same conclusion/culprit, ensuring that students will not be aware of the different leveled assignments.How do I use this with my students?You can use this whole group, small group, in partners, table groups, independently, as homework, and more! First graders will need support reading the directions the first few times they complete these mysteries. I'd suggest completing them with teacher support in whole group or small groups at first. As students become more comfortable, working in pairs and independently will become more feasible.Are the phonics mysteries the same as the math mysteries?No! Phonics mysteries have their own set of clues, focus on reading and phonics skills, and end with a different conclusion. The only part that’s the same is the initial list of suspects. But each mystery leads to a different culprit--check out the preview to compare them in detail.Is a digital version included?Yes! The digital version is available in Google Slides and the link is included in the printable PDF. You can download the Google Slides to use in PowerPoint if needed as well. What should students do if they finish early?A fast finisher directed drawing activity is included for students who finish early! There is also a certificate of completion for every student. You could also have students work on incomplete assignments or read a book. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Other Information:Follow me and be notified when new products are uploaded.
