About the Book

To be truly educated today, students need more than knowledge; they need higher-order thinking skills. Critical and creative thinking is required to recognize and counter disinformation, to overcome thinking errors, and to be successful in school and life. To effectively teach these skills, we must start early, when young minds are still forming. While K–3 students are capable of higher-order thinking, most lessons engage only their lower-order thinking. In this comprehensive book based on sound science, Dr. Saifer offers many practical and engaging ways to develop students’ logical, critical, and creative thinking skills within nearly every lesson, in all subject areas, and throughout the day. Teaching Higher-Order Thinking to Young Learners, K–3: How to Develop Sharp Minds for the Disinformation Age is key reading for any early childhood teacher, leader, or parent.

Review :
For educators who think that they cannot implement higher-order thinking with primary children, the author simply dispels the myth. Using real examples, snapshots, and the modeling of high expectations for the abilities of students, the author is very thorough and has considered thinking skills not normally implemented in a primary classroom. Now more than ever students need to be able to think critically. –Susan Jaroscak, Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Maple Heights City Schools, Ohio, USA Any educator would benefit from the research, examples and activities outlined in this book. I especially appreciated the book being broken into two sections and the delineation between theory and practice. By the time I finished section one, I felt motivated to provide more higher order thinking activities. The most appealing feature of this book is that you can read about why higher order thinking is valuable and then immediately have a guidebook of how to get your students there. –Kelly Carter, Early Childhood Education Specialist, Oklahoma, USA
