Sytretch2Smart has 3 levels of difficulty. Each expands the reader’s higher level thinking skills. As is so often in life, there are no wrong answers. Instead, it is the argument or case that we build for an answer, and how sincerely we believe in it that makes it right for each of us. The real question is: can you defend your answer with a convincing, true, and intelligent argument?
Parents, grandparents, teachers and the like who are reading to, or having material read to them will, at first when using Stretch2Smart, have to work at getting the reader to reason why his/her answer was chosen. The purpose is not to change the answer, but to get the reader to use his/her reasoning processes to build a case for that answer.
This reasoning process requires the reader to pull data from his/her knowledge base, analyze it, weigh its value for their selected answer, and then have the communication skills to present it as their supporting argument.
It is never too early to begin building thinking skills.
The need for them does not max out. There will always be new data, new circumstances, and new questions to deal with.
