Children need to understand how to think effectively to thrive at school and beyond. Critical thinking and clear communication are the cornerstones of capable writers. Language and cognition walk hand in hand.

How do we even start to address the developmental impact of Covid-19? This new approach to learning is rooted in cognitive science and might provide your school with some sensible direction.
