[A]n easy, inexpensive, and effective tool for teaching critical thinking skills within the lower elementary curriculum....[It adheres] to Piaget's basic theory...that the most powerful learning occurs when students move from the concrete (manipulative) stage to the semi-concrete (paper-and-pencil) stage to the abstract (verbal) stage.

My third-grade daughter's spatial skills were not well developed. She used to go ballistic when she had to mentally form a three-dimensional object from a two-dimensional image. After doing the Building Thinking Skills® Book 1, she says it's a breeze. Her nonverbal scores used to be low. Now they're higher than her verbal, which were already high. Her creativity and problem solving have also blossomed since she started using your materials.

As parents, we agree that the ability to actually reason (rather than merely form opinions) and to discern is the most important intellectual quality. To help master this skill, we used books 1 and 2 from the Building Thinking Skills®....We are all very pleased with them.

I have used Building Thinking Skills® Books 1 and 2 for the past three years. My oldest daughter...scored at 91% and 92% on the National Percentile Rank for 3rd and 4th grade consecutively. Her scores on using information climbed from 78% to 95% between 3rd and 4th grade as well, which I'm sure is from using Book 2.

I am a teacher at a small private school. I would like to purchase the Building Thinking Skills® series....We have a couple of students who I believe would greatly benefit from these materials. They are struggling in most of their subjects and have not been exposed to different ways of thinking and learning.When I was homeschooling my own children a few years back, we went through the Building Thinking Skills® series and I was very impressed with the results. I would very much like to offer the same benefit to the struggling students in our school."

As I was working on the activities with my children, I really had only one question: 'Where was Building Thinking Skills® when we were kids?'

Don't miss out on these books. Each book has...a wide variety of fun and educational activities than can significantly improve a child's ability to think about problems rather than just mechanically apply a few memorized techniques. Because they contain such a large number of verbal and figural exercises, these books are a bargain. If you purchase just one supplementary book this year, this is the one to get.

The ability to think clearly and to reason are equally as important as the ability to read or to write....[W]e have found the Building Thinking Skills® books to be the best of the various critical thinking products available.

If you're a parent who doesn't have this book, you need to get it. My daughters love to do Building Thinking Skills®, even my daughter who doesn't like to think. She took the Stanford Achievement Test recently and made a nearly perfect score on the thinking section, which was a great improvement.

Because of my children's success, I am frequently asked to recommend teaching material. The one series I recommend is the Building Thinking Skills®. My children have had great success expanding their critical thinking abilities because of them. I have spent a lot of time reviewing teaching material, and I can honestly say that you offer a superior product.
