My Project

My third-graders are voracious readers who love to learn! These reading comprehension and vocabulary games will help them build critical thinking skills to succeed in all core subjects.

My students often ask, "But what's the answer?" "Am I right?" I aim to help their active minds acquire the sleuthing skills to assess context clues and build confidence.

They'll be more inclined to venture an answer if they can determine the meaning of unknown words and what an open-ended question is asking. These skills apply to all content areas, and I want to set my students up for success!
