Description & Features

Building Thinking Skills Level 3 Verbal provides highly effective verbal reasoning activities to improve vocabulary, reading, writing, math, logic, and figural-spatial skills, as well as visual and auditory processing. This exceptional skill set provides a solid foundation for academic excellence and success on any assessment test.

The activities are sequenced developmentally. Each skill (for example, classifying) is presented 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.
