About Critikid

These days, we have access to more information than ever, but we don’t always have the tools to make sense of it. We can connect with more people than ever, yet communicating effectively can be challenging. Critikid gives kids and teens practical critical thinking skills needed to rationally evaluate claims and express ideas clearly.

Who is Critikid for?

Critikid's resources are used by parents, homeschooling families, and classroom teachers who want to strengthen kids' critical thinking skills. We have courses and worksheets for learners ages 5–18. See the Resources page for recommendations by age.
