Description

Development of Critical Thinking

Age Group : 5 years and over

Alfie the alien is visiting Earth for the first time. He knows nothing about human beings, their habits or life on our planet. The child will assume the role of guide, helping Alfie to understand how people live as they visit different places.

We will travel to sixty different destinations with Alfie, finding ourselves in everyday situations, observing natural phenomena, looking at man-made constructions, getting to know different people and visiting unique landscapes.

The child will try to guide Alfie the alien as effectively as possible. Alfie knows nothing and is fully reliant on the child. His guide will have to explain everything to him and answer all his questions!

These types of activities give children the opportunity to think differently from usual, develop their imagination and boost their language skills.

Writing is a solitary affair, and that's something I enjoy most of the time. Of course, I equally enjoy the company of my young and older students.

I started working as a speech therapist in 2000. Thirteen years later, I wrote the first book. I wanted to share the knowledge and personal experience I have gained over the years. I have not stopped writing since then, and at the same time, I continue to practice my profession. One complements the other. The children show me the way, and I join them in easy and challenging paths.

I have the electronic version of this and have used it successfully with a range of children with DLD and ASD. I like the scenarios and the fact that I can show the kids why it’s important to use very specific language to describe things.

Υπέροχο!

Εύκολα κατανοητό απο το παιδί. Οργανώνει την σκέψη του και καλλιεργεί την κριτική σκέψη με τρόπο ευχάριστο και κυρίως μέσα απο παραδείγματα-καταστάσεις που το παιδί συναντά καθημερινά με αποτέλεςμα να μπορει εύκολα να γενικεύσει τις γνώσεις του στον αυθόρμητο λόγο .

Υλικό για σκέψη

Η κριτική σκέψη είναι κάτι που δύσκολα κανεις μπορει να εξηγήσει ποσο μαλλον να διδάξει, ειδικά σε παιδιά με ΔΑΔ. Μεσα απο τα 3 στάδια, η μεθοδος γίνεται βατή και κατανοητή.
