Building Thinking Skills® Level 2 Software
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.
In this software adventure, you and your team of critical thinkers must complete the
verbal and figural activities in each of the ten underground levels to rescue Dr. Cognito and restore order to the lab.
With both verbal and graphic instructions, this lively adventure nurtures independent learning, superior thinking, and
communication skills.
