Now in its third edition, this classic text remains the seminal resource for in-depth information about major concepts and principles of the cultural-historical theory developed by Lev Vygotsky, his students, and colleagues, as well as three generations of neo-Vygotskian scholars in Russia and the West. Featuring two new chapters on brain development and scaffolding in the zone of proximal development, as well as additional content on technology, dual language learners, and students with disabilities, this new edition provides the latest research evidence supporting the basics of the cultural-historical approach alongside Vygotskian-based practical implications. With concrete explanations and strategies on how to scaffold young children’s learning and development, this book is essential reading for students of early childhood theory and development.

Teach Your Kids to Think! is designed to help parents teach their children how to think wisely and well during the time they already spend together. Using the latest research on intelligence and how we think, author Maria Chesley Fisk, Ph.D., has created a series of easy-to-use, fun tools that can be used whenever parents are with their 4- to 12- year old kids. The tools are divided into sections that correspond to different types of thinking. She created her thinking puzzle, shown here and used throughout the book, to represent how interrelated these thinking skills are and how they all work together to help our kids develop their multiple intelligences.
