Deductive Thinking Skills

Mind Benders

Develops reading comprehension, logic, and problem solving. Prepares your child for testing!

Grades: PreK - 12+
Subject: Critical Thinking


  Mind Benders®, our best-selling deductive thinking puzzles, develop the logic, reading comprehension, and mental organizational skills vital to achieving high grades and top test scores in all subjects. They're also great for developing real-life, problem solving skills.

Your child will carefully analyze each Mind Benders® story and its clues, identifying logical associations between people, places, and things. The key is to start with the most obvious associations, then deduce less obvious associations until everything finally fits together.
