Strategic Moves is a practical guide to developing your child’s mental prowess with true-to-life stories and easy, yet challenging, chess exercises used successfully in real classrooms.
After spending decades teaching chess to young children, Carol Ann Caronia has written Strategic Moves: Mind-Building Chess Exercises for Kids to share her exceptional wisdom and teaching methods with parents and educators alike.
The mastery of chess is synonymous with the mastery of logic, critical thinking, and problem solving. The game offers invaluable yet unquantifiable skills that can actually be honed, developed, and acquired over time. With the right teacher, learning chess can provide a roadmap to the acquisition of these priceless skill sets.
If you want your child to learn to think logically and clearly, Carol Ann Caronia’s Strategic Moves is here to help. Chock-full of hilarious anecdotes, wisdom, teaching lessons, and more, Strategic Moves will be the definitive guide to teaching your child the world’s greatest game.
“I wish Carol Ann Caronia had written Strategic Moves thirty years ago when I first embarked on my teaching career. She would have saved me a mountain of anguish as I navigated working with young minds. The book is filled with the teaching wisdom that only comes with experience. We each have to make discoveries on our own, to bring our individual patterns and structures to the classroom, but how much better to begin with a quiver full of arrows that strike home every time. Carol Ann shows how to humanize and dignify the emotion-laden and cerebrally challenging mine-field of scholastic chess.” -- David MacEnulty, Chess Coach and Author
