And the questions are great. Love the system! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love the Reading Detective Series *by H***S on January 15, 2016* I love the Reading Detective Series. Each of my sons has used the various grades offered by this company and have thrived. This book is meant for 3-4 graders. I understand your child my be in these grades but have a lower or higher reading level. I can't give you the exact book to start with, but as a homeschool mom, I can tell you they are very accurately marked with the grade. Basically there is a reading passage of several paragraphs-a short story or exerpt from a book. The student is then to answer 8-10 multiple choice and direct questions about the story. The questions are thorough-some obvious, some require the child to look for specific sentences to back up their answer. All in all, the child learns to find the theme, supporting evidence, and learn to comprehend what they are reading more effectively. I highly recommend this book as a supplement to your language arts and daily reading. We saw improvement in comprehension and I believe you will as well. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/44034217-reading-detective-beginning](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/44034217-reading-detective-beginning) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
