Tell Me a Story: Storybooks That Teach Critical Thinking
This fun, easy to use, award-winning picture book is made up of two stories. Students tell each story by analyzing the pictures and responding to guided questions. The questions encourage students to provide details, describe events, explain motives, make evidence-based predictions, and use cause and effect. Each story develops critical and creative thinking skills, including observation, evidence evaluation, shape/object comparison, inference, cause and effect, and event sequence. These stories also develop pre-reading skills, helping pre-readers progress from listening to telling a story and engage in the reading process by identifying and shaping the storyline. Reading involves decoding written text and gaining meaning from symbols, including letters and pictures.

This is a fun and easy to use picture book that has won awards. It is made up of two stories. Students can tell each story by analyzing the pictures and answering guided questions on each page. The questions are interesting and help students analyze the scene and the storyline in a deeper way. They also encourage students to provide details, describe events, explain motives, make evidence-based predictions, and understand cause and effect leading up to the scene. Each story helps develop critical and creative thinking skills, such as observation, identifying and evaluating evidence, comparing and contrasting shapes and objects, making inferences based on evidence, and understanding cause and effect. These stories also help develop pre-reading skills. Pre-readers progress from listening to a story to telling a story, and become more engaged in the reading process as they identify and shape the storyline. Reading involves more than just decoding written text. A big part of reading is gaining meaning from symbols, both letters and pictures.
