Logic can be your secret weapon.

Studying formal logic can be intimidating without the right help, but knowing how to think logically isn't just for "experts."

Our easy-to-read layout comes with summaries, key points, definitions, and cautions so you learn and keep an understanding of logic.

It's the tool for learning how to use other tools.

It's the bones that give a clenched fist its structure (and knuckles).

Introductory Logic is perfect for Grade 7+ students, teachers, and parents who've never tackled syllogisms or fallacies before. It provides a semester or year's worth of logic to help you detect and deflect flawed or deceitful arguments and to think, debate, and argue well.

The complete Introductory Logic video course is available for streaming with a subscription to Canon+. Visit mycanonplus.com to learn more.

Considered Essential Learning At Our Home

We absolutely love this curriculum. Despite having no personal understanding of logic when we started out in homeschooling seventeen years ago, I sensed it must be important, if for no other reason than the professor in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardobe lamenting its absense from schools. By the grace of God, we stumbled upon this curriculum. It's wonderful. Though we now start with Dr. Ransom and critical thinking exercises at younger ages, my eldest child jumped straight into Introductory Logic and loved it. He went on to complete Intermediate Logic, which he loved even more. Now a few years into pursuing math and cybersecurity degrees, he is frequently surprised by how much these courses prepared him for his university level logic and math courses. On several occasions, he's come upon chapters in his current textbooks that he already understands completely due to have taken these logic courses.
This course does seem to come more naturally to children who gravitate toward math, but I really believe all children can and should take this Introductory Logic course. It will arm them with tools to understand and combat the many inconsistencies and fallacies that we all face (and unfortunately sometimes use) everyday. I love that the course can be done via video lessons or textbook, catering to either learning preference. I highly recommend you try it!

Great Curriculum

I have used this curriculum with my own children and am currently teaching it at a co-op with a mix of middle schoolers and high schoolers. It is simple to use and is engaging and fun, even for a teacher that has no previous experience studying logic.
