Developing Critical Thinking Skills for Upper Grades

Helps Students Improve Reading Comprehension with Longer and More Challenging Texts.

Students receive hands-on practice in using reading improvement strategies that sharpen their critical thinking skills and develop their ability to make inferences.

This software uses the same format as Developing Critical Thinking Skills for Effective Reading, with longer and increasingly challenging texts for the more advanced reader.

Assessments place students in appropriate units of instruction. Students advance as they demonstrate readiness. Scores are automatically kept in a record management system.

Designed for students in Canada grades 8 through 11 (ages 13 and up), the software can also be used by English language learners and adult students.
