KTSS gives you 7 folders, 6 that review a critical thinking skill and 1 that's a practice test.  Each folder has two pockets, one with the child's materials, and the other with an adult's script. 

This sample is from the adult's script for Reasoning, one of the 6 skills covered in KTSS.



In the child's materials, there's a bigger version of the thumbnail sketch seen here in the adult's script.
 
 



The script makes it easy for a parent or another adult to help a child learn.



 

Children are encouraged to explain their answers so it's clear whether or not they know the skill.
 
 

Cues in boxes tell an adult exactly what to say if a child needs help.
 
 

a sheep      a bunny       a goat        a rooster   

We're going to be doing more thinking work together.  Let's start with this one. 

Ling went to the PETTING ZOO.  Her favorite part of the day was when she got to pick up and cuddle this animal in her arms.  Circle the animal that she picked up and held.  (the bunny is correct)

Why is that animal the right one?

If incorrect or not well-explained SAY: You can put your arms around any one of these animals, so any one you circle might be okay.  But I want you to tell me which one would be the EASIEST one for you to pick up and hold in your arms.
