Nate the Great is a book about a determined young detective, who, with an ample supply of pancakes for motivation and thinking, can easily solve any case through deductive reasoning. Marjorie Weinman Sharmat’s engaging book for young readers inspires children to become determined detectives just like Nate.
In addition to the book, students use hands-on activities that incorporate reading, writing, math and science to “crack the case.” They’ll build a reading vocabulary, make their own detective hats, take notes in their detective notebooks, explore color changes, analyze fingerprints, and apply measurement skills. This kit is jam-packed with embedded learning opportunities that span all of the content areas.
