Wonder Wits
“Problem solving, inventiveness, higher-order thinking skills: these are all skills that we would like to see more of in our students. But more often than not, children believe that these skills exist only in the realm of talented, highly skilled professionals. Wonder Wits will make them think otherwise. This Teaching Guide is a great resource to use as part of your thinking skills/creativity lessons. The many and varied activities within would also be perfect for your gifted and talented classes. The wonderful feature of this Wonder Wits series is the way that children can see how they too can be creative and inventive. In the easy-to-read format of a story, powerful thinking tools are described and used by our young protagonists. These tools are added to, in each story, so that by the end of the series, readers will have a fully-fledged creativity toolkit to use whenever the need arises.”
