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 on any assessment
The activities are developmentally sequenced. Each
skill (for example, classifying) is presented first
in the 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.
Activities are modeled to reinforce reasoning skills
and concepts. The Answer Guides are now included in Level 1, 2, and 3. Building Thinking
Skills® Beginning level may be used with attribute blocks, and the Primary level requires
attribute blocks and interlocking cubes. See below for order information for these manipulatives.
