About
A recovery kit for clear thinking
Argue Better exists because schools stopped teaching logic and rhetoric as core skills — and public life shows it.
Argue Better is the companion site for two books by Avery J. Parker:
- Think Straight, Argue Better — adults and teens: premises, validity, fallacies, rhetoric, steel-manning, and daily practice.
- Think Smart, Argue Fair — grades 3–5: the same craft in Super Thinker language, with classroom-ready TRY IT activities.
Who this site is for
Adults who want to argue without bad faith. Teens learning to evaluate claims online. Teachers and parents who want short, account-free drills. Kids who are ready to turn wishes into reasons.
What is free vs coming soon
All interactive tools, guides, glossary, chapter maps, and printable reference cards are free. The books are not published yet — book pages show a notify option until buy links go live. When they do, Amazon (or equivalent) buttons appear automatically.
How the books relate to the tools
Every major drill maps to a chapter focus. Start with the reading path, skim a guide, then practice. Teachers can run 15-minute lessons from the Teachers hub without student logins.
About the author
Avery J. Parker writes practical education in logic and rhetoric — the habits that make disagreement useful instead of theatrical. Argue Better is the living practice layer around those books: definitions you can cite, quizzes you can repeat, and classroom outlines you can run on Monday morning.
