Theirs is called Pocket Comet — red and white, about as tall as an arm, the name written in pencil inside the body tube where nobody can see it. Nobody was supposed to fly Pocket Comet before Friday. Nobody was supposed to carry it out of the workshop at all. Camp gives every team six engines in a box with six slots, and on Tuesday morning there were five. This is the story of how the boys found out that somebody had flown their rocket — three times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the Reading Mystery Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents take on the role of Reading Detectives. They read the passage, answer each multiple-choice question from the text, and cross off the suspect shown beneath the correct answer. The answers are there for a reader who notices what is counted, what is missing and what does not match — every right answer removes a name, and the last person standing flew the rocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA \"You are a detective\" case-file page that sets the scene and the mission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA two-page fiction passage told in first person by one of the cadets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree pages of multiple-choice comprehension questions, every answer found in the text\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA sixteen-suspect line-up page for eliminating names one clue at a time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten-response pages with sample answers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA themed word search and extension activities for early finishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-checking answer keys for every page\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull color and ink-saving black-and-white versions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeacher instructions and print-and-go PDF format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSkills Covered\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrawing conclusions from evidence the text does not spell out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking inferences about motive and character\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinding and citing text evidence\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSequencing events and noticing what does not add up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVocabulary in context\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLogical reasoning and deductive elimination as suspects are ruled out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBest Used For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInference and drawing conclusions units\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpace, rockets and STEM-themed reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLiteracy centers and reading rotations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorning work, homework and early finishers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSubstitute and relief days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprehension review and test prep for Grades 3–5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMore From This Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse every \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/reading-mysteries\"\u003eReading Mystery\u003c\/a\u003e, or pair it with \u003ca href=\"\/products\/making-inferences-reading-mystery-worksheets-grades-3-5-the-book-that-came-back\"\u003eThe Book That Came Back\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pirate-inference-reading-mystery-worksheets-grades-3-5-the-boat-that-went-ashore\"\u003eThe Boat That Went Ashore\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kiwiland Education","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62265382404466,"sku":"17490408","price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/2848\/0626\/files\/making-inferences-reading-comprehension-passages-questions-csi-reading-mystery-rocket.jpg?v=1788154752","url":"https:\/\/kiwilandeducation.com\/products\/drawing-conclusions-reading-mystery-worksheets-grades-3-5-space-camp-rocket-case","provider":"Kiwiland Education","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
