One of the central questions facing anyone involved in education is
can you actually teach anyone to think? To begin to answer this
question, it is necessary to know what thinking means. Frank Smith
is one of the most influential writers in education today. His work
on reading in particular has had a seminal effect on classroom
practice throughout the English-speaking world. At the core of all
his work has been this issue of the nature of thought. In this
book, he analyzes the language of thinking and then moves on to
look at different aspects of the thinking process: everyday
thought, creative and critical thought. Finally he looks critically
at the various methods currently advocated for teaching children to
think, arguing that learning to think is in the end less a matter
of instruction than of experience and opportunity.
