Description

This step-by-step introduction to teaching thinking skills will be useful to teachers, librarians, and staff development personnel. Each thinking skill is presented in a one-page reproducible (easily adapted to a transparency or PowerPoint slide), followed by several self-contained activities using fairy tales and fantasy books as the basis to teach the integrated skill. Skills taught range from deductive reasoning to inferential and perceptual thinking. There are over 30 skills in all. Gifted education teachers will love this book.
