Reading
For reading today, we are going to continue the mystery read aloud called The Whodunnit Detective Agency: The Diamond Mystery. Please watch the first video to learn about a very special type of clue that authors use when writing mystery stories!
Next, listen to Mrs. Bryant reading chapters 2 and 3 in the video below. As you are listening look for the clues the author left and decide if they are REAL clues or RED HERRINGS.
