Comic Clues Story Cards — Reading Comprehension Card Deck for Kids, Ages 7-12 | 24 Critical Thinking Comics

Twenty-four comics. Ninety-six questions. One deck kids actually ask for.

Each card is a complete Duchess and Bruno comic - and on the back, four questions that walk a reader from what happened all the way to what would you have done instead. Pull one out, read it in two minutes, argue about it for ten.

No screen. No set-up. No preparation. Just a deck you can hand to a kid who says they don't like reading, and watch them read.

What's on each card

One comic, then four questions that climb: remember what happened, work out what it meant, apply it somewhere new, and then pull it apart and decide what you think. That's all six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, in a format that looks like a game.

Nobody has to know that. The kids just think they're arguing about a comic.

What's in the box

• 24 comic cards - a full comic on the front, four questions on the back
• Comic Clues chart - decodes what each icon on the card means
• Comprehension strategies guide - for anyone who wants to go deeper
• Six games - different ways to use the deck, so it doesn't become a routine
• Full answer sheets - check their work, or let them check it themselves
• Card list - track which ones you've done

Who it's for

Kids aged 7 to 12 who love comics, and the parents and teachers of kids who don't love much else. Works one-on-one, in a group, as a rotation, or handed over and left alone.
