Building Thinking Skills Level 1 (Color Edition)

This engaging 320-page book develops the critical thinking skills necessary for success in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and standardized tests in Grades 2-3.

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
