📚 Explorers: Word Detective

A fully interactive A2.2 Kids reading-strategy lesson in the Explorer Club: Master Level series. Students become word detectives who guess unknown words from context instead of stopping. Part 2 is a three-box strategy toolkit: 'Guess, Don't Stop!' with the new-word + clues = smart guess formula and a five-step detective panel (read the sentence, look at the picture, think what makes sense, guess, read on and check); 'Three Kinds of Clues' (picture, nearby words, common sense) with worked examples; and a Clue Table matching clue types to how they help. Ten strategy words (clue, guess, context, detective, meaning, unknown, nearby, sense, hint, skip) come with kid-friendly definitions and examples, six as review flashcards. The reading is a magazine-style detective case where Team Compass crack four tricky words (huge, python, exhausted, gloomy, shiny, gem) using context clues, with hover tooltips. Practice offers 8 fill-in-the-blank items mixing strategy vocabulary and context guessing with live validation, hints and a score; speaking gives five detective prompts and a five-line model dialogue; the writing task guides a 30–50 word account of a real word the student guessed with a four-point checklist and live word counter; and an 8-question quiz mixes context-clue skills with two comprehension questions about the reading, featuring a progress bar, per-question explanations, a result circle and localStorage persistence.
