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.

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.

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.

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

The school flyer on OLSAT test claimed we can’t prepare our children for the test. My child didn’t score high enough on the OLSAT the first year he tried, so couldn’t get in the GATE program. When I found out about your <em>Building Thinking Skills®</em> series, I got them and started several pages everyday over the summer. We briefly reviewed it right before the test, and he scored 98th percentile, making into the GATE program! Now I tell other parents, contrary to the flyer, we CAN prepare our children for the OLSAT test. Thank you!!!

<i>Building Thinking Skills</i>® has improved our son's test-taking skills and made him a more logical thinker, which helps him learn more effectively in all subject areas. These are wonderfully effective books and I highly recommend them.
