Inhaltsangabe

Foster your child's critical thinking skills and see confidence soar!

Children are naturally inquisitive from infancy, yet creative and problem-solving skills need to be nurtured as children grow. Like reading and math skills, critical thinking skills require practice. The variety of fun and creative activities in Skill Sharpeners: Critical Thinking will challenge your child to use higher-order thinking skills based on Bloom's Taxonomy.

Every page provides a new and interesting activity that will help your child:

• Think outside the box and use higher-order thinking skills through open-ended questions and challenges
• Tap into his or her creativity with art projects and hands-on activities
• Become a better learner by practicing critical thinking skills in cross-curricular activities (based on PreK science, math, social studies, and language arts content)

The 100+ activities are organized around these PreK themes:

• Insects: Butterflies and Grasshoppers; Honeybees and Ladybugs
• Weather: Different Types of Weather; We Dress for the Weather
• Transportation: Cars, Trucks, and Buses; Planes, Trains, and Boats
• Community: Homes in My Community; Places to Visit
