Logic Resources

These are the ones I am planning to use at the present:

Harry Stottlemeier's Discovery is a very unique approach to teaching logic and discussion skills at around the age of eleven. It is a narrative story with characters who "discover" and test each other's thinking. Designed for students to read aloud and discuss with other children and with an adult who basically guides the discussion (not as a teacher). Students are to do their own learning, ask their own questions, and test their own thoughts.



For a fun way to do more practice on the important topic of informal fallacies:



Peter Kreeft has written a comprehensive logic for older students. The great thing is that he uses real examples, many from great works of Western Civilization. I'll let this comprehensive review do my talking.
