Critical Thinking teaches your child to think logically, present well-developed arguments, and see through unsupported arguments. Book One helps students develop the fundamentals of logic, argumentation, and critical reading.
Easy-to-understand explanations of concepts are followed by examples and real-life, often humorous, discussion problems. Children learn to identify valid and invalid claims and arguments, sufficient and insufficient evidence, fact and opinion, generalizations, emotional arguments, inferences, deductions, and more.
