Description
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
PreK activities include tracing, counting, dot-to-dot, and drawings that involve critical thinking skills such as:
- Recall and Retell
- Analyze
- Solve
- Determine
- Create, and more!
Plus, each page lists the critical thinking skill(s) so that you know what your child is practicing.
Includes answer key.
