Kate CA Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 We have not done anything formal as far as logic. Where might one begin?:) Thanks! I would not use anything formal as that is not normally begun until later years, but I do recommend the Bluedorn's fallacy books. They are an engaging way to introduce younger children to logic concepts without getting too deep. We will be starting Traditional Logic next year for my 8th grader, but it is not recommended for 5th/6th graders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
