Peter Reynolds, author and illustrator of The Dot, as well as many other books, is the mind behind SuperThinkers. This website, designed for students in upper elementary and middle school, includes, games and activities that encourage: reading for meaning, logic, and reasoning skills. According to the site, it “offers activities that require that students THINK before they click. Do not be surprised if some students find this site “too hard.” An important lesson in authentic learning is that it IS a challenge to think.”
The featured game on SuperThinkers is The Peetnik Mysteries, and I think students will enjoy making deductions based on the clues that are given. The site also includes: a creativity workshop, posters, and parent and educator pages. In addition, there is a section on getting involved by helping others with your SuperThinker powers.
