Reading: This week’s Reading Comprehension is a Whodunnit mystery story. You need to read the evidence carefully and make deductions about who may have committed the crime. Read the evidence here. Write the evidence and make your deductions here. The only clue I will give you is: dates. There are three different levels. Either work your way up through the levels or choose a level and remember to challenge yourself. When you have deduced who committed the crime look to see if you were correct by checking on the answers here.
