This article is in collaboration with Apologia Educational Ministries.

Learning to read is the first step in being a lifelong reader. Understanding what you read and learning to appreciate it, is the next step. Apologia Educational Ministries has created Readers in Residence Volume 1 (Sleuth) to do just that. Children in grades 4 and up will develop their comprehension skills while participating in high-interest activities and reading assignments.

Readers in Residence Volume 1 (Sleuth) contains two books. The first book is an inclusive book containing all the text and activities in one spiral-bound location. The second book is an answer book for the parent or teacher.
