Critical Thinking

Learning to think critically is one of the most important skills that today's children need. In today's rapidly changing world, children should be able to do much more than repeat a list of facts they studied in class. They should be critical thinkers capable of processing information sensibly. The future of the world should be equipped with the ability to compare and contrast in order to generate high quality thinking.

Reading is the best way for a student to develop his/her way of foreseeing things in life. Reading about different incidents and experiences helps a child refine his/her theories on what causes things to happen. It also gives them a close-to-life experience on what can happen in life and also gives them insight on how skilled people dealt with it. Guiding a child’s critical thinking will help him/her acquire a clear mind and will have a positive impact on his/her problem solving skills.

Knowing the art of being-a-self-critic is indispensable, as it is one of the major steps needed in evolving critical thinking skills. Analyzing information and being active listeners help students to read and think differently. Encouraging students to think freely and to project their ideas with confidence helps them in understanding and constantly moulding themselves.
