<I>The Building Thinking Skills</I>® series is probably the most basic, comprehensive resource for thinking skills at all levels.

The <i>[Building Thinking Skills®]</i> verbal and figural skills books have been invaluable.…The lesson plans and activities ordered according to difficulty made it possible for our instructors to link an assessment to a prescribed curriculum tailored for each student. Students don't get bored or discouraged when they are presented work which matches their ability level.

My daughter is very bright and has a neurological learning disability. Her performance IQ may often be considerably below her potential or verbal IQ. <i>Building Thinking Skills'®</i> perfectly sequenced cognitive exercises are exactly what she needs to help build the neural pathways around the 'white-matter damage,' literally bypassing her disabilities so that she can perform up to her actual IQ. The series has helped both of us to take the frustration out of learning.

This series challenges students to solve a variety of fun and educational activities that can significantly improve their ability to think about problems rather than just mechanically apply a few memorized techniques.

We did a limited experiment to see if <i>Building Thinking Skills</i>® would help students perform better on standardized and state tests. The improvement was remarkable. Test scores went up even after the first few months. I'm totally sold on the program.

I have twins who have always done above-average work but have never tested anywhere near the top. We did an intensive study of <i>Building Thinking Skills</i>® in the weeks before they tested. To my surprise, their scores were in the 98th and 99th percentile across the board. I failed to give them practice the next time around and their scores went down. Now they're back at the top again and I know that <i>Building Thinking Skills</i> was what helped them.

I love this book!! Sylvan Leaning Center uses it. That should be enough of a testimony right there.
