Building
Thinking Skills® provides highly effective verbal and nonverbal
reasoning activities to improve your children's vocabulary, reading, writing, math, logic,
and figural-spatial skills, as well as their visual and auditory processing. This
series provides a solid foundation for academic excellence and success
in any assessment.
The activities are sequenced developmentally. Each skill (for example, classifying)
is presented first in the semi-concrete figural-spatial form and then in the abstract
verbal form. Children 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 children 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.
