THINKING SKILLS

Description: This engaging 376-page book develops critical thinking skills necessary for success in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and standardized tests in Grades 2-3. The Building Thinking SkillsĀ® series is the bestselling thinking skills program in the world! The engaging, highly-effective 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. Students also learn important academic vocabulary, concepts, and skills as they analyze relationships between objects, between words, and between objects and words by: - Observing, recognizing, and describing characteristics - Distinguishing similarities and differences - Identifying and completing sequences, classifications, and analogies These processes help students develop superior thinking and communication skills that lead to deeper content learning in all subjects.
