The Basics of Critical Thinking

The Basics of Critical Thinking

Let’s be real: critical thinking isn’t just for acing tests or impressing Grandma—it’s for dodging clickbait, spotting bad science, and side-eyeing suspicious sales pitches. That’s why we love The Basics of Critical Thinking, a bright, engaging workbook that teaches your child how to think smarter, not louder.

With colorful illustrations, clever storylines, and simple explanations, this 152-page book sneaks in serious logic skills while keeping things fun. Your student will learn to identify and evaluate evidence and recognize common fallacies, facts vs. opinions, contracts, argument forms, and even those dreaded Venn diagrams. By the end, your student will be confidently tearing apart weak arguments like a mini logic ninja.

Designed for curious minds from 4th to 9th grade, this workbook uses straightforward activities, diagrams, and examples to make abstract thinking totally doable. No fluff, no filler—just essential tools your child will actually use in real life (unlike calculus, to be honest).

Let’s face it: in a world full of wild claims and viral misinformation, teaching your kid to think clearly might be the most practical thing you do this year. Whether your child wants to win arguments, understand the news, or just call out his sibling’s weak excuses, The Basics of Critical Thinking delivers.
