Five Minute Mysteries


Five Minute Mysteries are a great way of developing your reading skills.
Your job is to become a detective: your task is to solve a bizarre collection of crimes in everyday situations.
In order to succeed, you'll need to bring the world of the story to life in your mind. Imagine yourself there. What would the scenes look like? What would they sound like? What would they feel like? 
Which characters are saying things that are at odds with the scene around you? What hidden details require careful consideration?
To be a great detective, you'll need to read these stories carefully. Slow down. Don't focus on maximum words per minute, don't worry about using an expressive voice, just imagine yourself in the story and see what you can discover. You are a reading detective.
