Students carefully read through clues in each riddle, analyzing
connections within and between clues to figure out what is being
described. Solving the riddles requires students to evaluate homonyms,
synonyms, homophones, prefixes, roots, and suffixes in order to deduce
and spell whole and partial word answers.

Comments
from my customers about Dr. DooRiddles:
"The whole family likes to sit around and work these together."
"I took the
Dr. DooRiddles, cut them up and
pasted them to business cards. Then, combined the set on a ring.
We take these cards with us outside to the swing set and wherever we go.
I've also designed a Birthday Party Treasure hunt using the riddles,
slightly modified to fit the areas/things around my house."
"I took my kindergartner into the school for his
bench mark testing and he did fantastic!! Anyway, the teacher asked me
what I was using, I showed her Mind Building Reading and Dr.
DooRiddles. The benchmark for initial sound fluency was 20-he
got 137. The benchmark for nonsense word fluency was 10-he got 64. He's
a 6 year old kindergartner and he's currently reading The Boxcar
Children by himself. 18 months ago he was just learning his letters. Out
of the three boys, he learned his letters last, but then I started with
this program (Bright Minds) this past summer, and he just took off. It's
wonderful!"
