Logic
I believe that it is the responsibility of
all parents to teach their children to think logically. Without
the ability to move accurately from premise to conclusion, the populace
becomes far too gullible by those who seek power rather than the good
of the individual. Along with thoughtful conversation, these
tools are helpful for doing just that.

This was written by
the young adults of a large Christian homeschooling family. It
goes through 25 different common logical fallacies and helps the reader
to recognize them when they hear them. It's a fun, entertaining
read that does its job quite well and can be completely
self-directed. Great for the logic stage.

Like The Fallacy Detective, this is by
the Bluedorn children. Rather than focusing on logical errors,
this one offers tools for using logic well and using it
prudently. One of my children preferred The Fallacy Detective.
Another liked The Thinking Toolbox
Better. I think they're both great!

This is the first in
a series of books with logic problems. These are fairly simple,
but each book gets more challenging. With help, these could be
done in about 4th grade. We do these about once a week.

This is a new
edition of the a fantastic worktext for logic by Douglas Wilson.
I recommend it for the logic stage after at least 7th grade. It's
thorough and challenging and well worth using.

This is the answer
key for Introductory Logic.
I rarely get the answer keys, but this one may well be worth it.
