Clues, codes, and connections! New York Times best selling authors Ruta Sepetys and Steve Sheinkin’s The Bletchley Riddle is a wild ride that incorporates mystery and history in a way that speaks to young people. The educational materials can be integrated seamlessly into teachers’ existing units. The mini-unit encompasses four lesson plans—two geared toward 5th–6th grades and two for 7th–8th grades. But each lesson plan can easily be adapted in language, vocabulary, number/complexity of tasks, and objectives to match your grade level. The lessons are academic and inclusive and are constructed so students can read, write, draw, listen, move, speak, and of course, decode! Worksheets have students playing investigators and code breakers to help solve the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Jakob and Lizzie’s mother. The Bletchley Riddle is teeming with cross-disciplinary topics, themes, and skill-building. Like we said: clues, codes, and connections galore!
