Teaching Reading and Writing with Higher-Order Thinking: Yearning to Learn IndexReviewsFor 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 Author InformationSteffen Saifer, EdD, a former teacher and administrator, is an international consultant and writer. He is the author of Practical Solutions to Practically Every Problem: The Survival Guide for Early Childhood Professionals, now in its third edition.
