Building Thinking Skills® Level 2
Description & Features
Building Thinking Skills® provides
highly effective verbal and nonverbal
reasoning activities to improve
students' vocabulary, reading, writing,
math, logic, and figural-spatial skills, as
well as their visual and auditory processing. This exceptional series provides a solid
foundation for academic excellence and success in any assessment.
Methods The activities are developmentally sequenced. Each skill (for example, classifying)
is presented first in the semi-concrete figural-spatial form and then in the abstract verbal
form. Students learn to analyze relationships between objects, between words, and
between objects and words as they:
Observe, recognize, and describe characteristics.
Distinguish similarities and differences.
Identify and complete sequences, classifications,
and analogies.
These processes help students develop superior thinking and communication skills
that lead to deeper content learning in all subjects.
Teaching Support
Activities are modeled to reinforce skills and concepts. An answer guide is now included, however, a separate Instruction/Answer Guide is also available but is not required. The optional teaching guide includes objectives and focus questions that reinforce analytical skills. See items sold separately on the right for ordering information about the separate, optional Instruction/Answer Guide.
