BUILDING THINKING SKILLS LEVEL 1

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 exceptional series provides a solid foundation for academic excellence and success in any assessment.The activities are developmentally sequenced. 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
