WHODUNNIT?
comparisonstyleevidenceKS4–KS5

Expert reading is detective work, words the clues that lead you to meaning.

Study the stylistic fingerprints of one text — register, idiolect, habit — then hunt for them in another. Work through a series of cases, assembling evidence in stages, before making your final accusation. Evidence first, accusation second.

What it trains

Forensic, comparative reading: spotting style, register and authorship across texts — the transferable skills that make close reading work anywhere.
