3 Effective Strategies to improve Critical Thinking Skills. 1. Ask open-ended questions: Instead of "Do you like this?", ask "What do you think about this?" or "Why do you think it happened?". 2. Encourage "what if" and "how come" questions: Encourage children to explore possibilities and challenge assumptions. 3. Model curiosity yourself: Show your own interest in learning and questioning the world around you. #americanschool #readingtime #literacy #criticalthinking #CatchUpFriday | American Sc
