Overview

Smart A-Z Series - Book 9: I Can Think is a thoughtfully designed early learning book for children aged 3-5 that develops metacognitive awareness-learning how to think about thinking. Building on the foundations of sensory, motor, emotional, language, social, logical, creative, and self-regulation intelligence from earlier volumes, this book helps young children become aware of their thoughts, make choices, reflect on actions, and learn from experiences. Grounded in developmental research on metacognition (Flavell; Whitebread and colleagues), the book shows that even very young children can begin to plan, monitor, and evaluate their thinking when supported through meaningful language and guided interaction. Each letter of the alphabet introduces a thinking-based key word and related vocabulary that encourages children to notice mistakes, ask questions, consider options, and understand cause-and-effect outcomes. The Smart Alphabet follows a clear, child-friendly learning process: think → choose → act → reflect → connect. Each letter is presented through a visually structured, two-part layout that makes thinking visible and understandable. Children engage in simple, developmentally appropriate ""learning algorithms"" that help them see how their decisions lead to results-strengthening early reasoning, independence, and problem-solving. Designed for use in homes, classrooms, and small-group settings, I Can Think encourages curiosity, reflection, and open dialogue. With guidance from parents, teachers, and caregivers, children build the language and awareness needed to become confident, self-directed learners. As the ninth book in the twelve-volume Smart A-Z Series, this volume prepares children to integrate all areas of intelligence in the final book-supporting lifelong learning, thoughtful decision-making, and healthy brain development.
