too much ice cream.

Read between and beyond the lines
Role of critical thinking in literacy
What did the bus driver do?
Did the dog move?
What colour is the bus?
Why do you think the dog is in the middle of the road?
What would you do if you were the driver?
What do you think will happen next?
Why do you think the dog is in the middle of the road?
What would you do if you were the driver?
What do you think will happen next?
Read what’s in the lines
Ensures understanding of basic story or text
Does not draw upon language for thinking
and learning
Less challenging so children feel successful
Read between and beyond the lines
Beyond information in the text
Draws on existing knowledge, problem-
solving, reasoning
More challenging but key to reading comprehension

a corner and kept quiet all night, although of course they could not sleep. - L. Frank Baum
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different
drummer. - Henry David Thoreau

How do children develop critical thinking?
Through POWERFUL conversations
Inspire their imaginations
Ask questions that get them
thinking
22
The most important aspect to evaluate in early childhood settings for very
young children is the amount of talk actually going on, moment by moment, between children and their caregivers. (Hart & Risley, 2002)
Conversation
counts!

It is the talk that surrounds the storybook reading that gives it
power, helping children to bridge what is in the story and their own lives. (NAEYC & ILA, 1998)

Promote critical thinking
• I’m thinking that..
• I’m wondering...
• I’m trying out figure out.... I wonder why...
• This reminds me of...
Make “thinking-out-loud”
comments
• Go beyond literal responses: Who...? What...? Where...? How many...?
• Stimulate critical thinking:
• Why...? How...? What if...? What would happen if...?
Ask questions
Ask questions that child can and want to
answer and lead to critical thinking
Why are you thinking that?
How does this make your feel?
What does this make you think of?
What can we do?
What do you think will happen if...?
I wonder...
• What colour is this?
• Where is the dog?
• Are you a girl?
• Are your shoes blue?
• What’s that?
• Are you eating pizza?
NOT...
