Give your student this must-have tool to practice and strengthen essential critical thinking skills and prepare them for standardize tests. Students will enjoy the assortment of interesting, nonfiction articles from TIME FOR KIDS and will be challenged by the thought-provoking questions.
Every student needs instruction in test-taking skills. Comprehension and Critical Thinking does that by providing instruction in the following areas: understanding the questions, concentrating only on what the text says, and maintaining concentration. It also provides strategies for vocabulary instruction including using the five basic context clues: definition, synonym, contrast, summary, and mood.
Comprehension and Critical Thinking is the resource parents and teachers need to help students get extra practice to be successful on standardized tests. This workbook is correlated to state and national standards and can be used at home or in the classroom to help students become confident critical thinkers.
About Shell Education
Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world.
