Critical Thinking: Editor in Chief Level 1 Review

Who knew that teaching/learning grammar could be so enjoyable?! Well I do now. I have to admit I don’t find teaching grammar nearly as fun as say science or math; necessary, but not as much fun. We have been reviewing Editor in Chief Level 1  from The Critical Thinking Co. and we really, really like it.

For this review, we received the physical book Editor in Chief Level 1.  There are so many things I like about this curriculum.  For one, I am thankful that I can make copies of the workbook to use with multiple children.  (Hooray!)  The lessons are just the right length, not too long, not too short. A wide variety of topics are taught and reviewed and the passages that the students edit are interesting and filled with facts.
