  1. teaches how to read between the lines
    Critical thinking is a skill that we are fine tuning in our homeschool. I didn't realize the need to be intentional when teaching critical thinking. Many of us can pick up information right away and discern fact from fiction, but some of us need explicit opportunities to work on reading between the lines. Critical Thinking Detective Book 2 provides the right amount of practice of taking numerous accounts and coming to a conclusion based on the information provided. I like that some cases are easy but can still be challenging based on what was not said in the suspects clues. Since the detective can't assume, being aware of vague statements is important when solving a case. The cases aren't written to confuse or trick the learner, but instead focuses on teaching the learner to read all the information provided and to eliminate those who do not fit the description. This workbook also encourages learners to write down their reasons for their conclusion in full sentences which is a good way to strengthen writing skills, and this allows learners to have a better understanding of how they arrived at their conclusion.

  2. N/A
    Kids and adults quickly became hooked on the dozen fun, challenging yet satisfyingly solvable mysteries in Critical Thinking Detective. Most any reader willing to apply his or her powers of observation, deduction and inference can get to the bottom of these 12 entertaining whodunits. Each mystery involves a theft and provides the story, facts and a lineup of four suspects on a single page. The page that follows is broken into four lined sections in which the sleuth/reader is encouraged to use complete sentences to describe the best evidence supporting their conclusions regarding each suspect. Discerning which three suspects are innocent is often the shortest path to finding the guilty party. The process of sifting through facts for key evidence and then forming written conclusions gives students outstanding experience in exercising and developing those ever-essential critical thinking skills.
