This book engages thinking. The 'Think Aloud' method featured here helps readers become more aware of how they think and provides models of expert thinking, as well. By so doing, it assists them to actively construct and refine their own skills of problem solving and reasoning. Happily, this method is also applicable to a wide range of other cognitive tasks or skills and can be applied productively to classroom instruction at intermediate and secondary school levels.
