Why incorporate critical thinking skills?
Critical thinking is an important skill for young learners because it helps them think deeper about what they’re reading. When they use critical thinking, they ask lots of questions and try to understand things better. This helps them make connections between different ideas and form their own opinions about what they’re learning. By practicing critical thinking, they become better readers who can use what they learn in real life
