Building Thinking Skills Level 3 Figural

Building Thinking Skills provides highly effective verbal and nonverbal reasoning activities to improve students’ vocabulary, reading, writing, math, logic, and figural-spatial skills as well as their 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 first in the concrete figural-spatial form and then in the abstract verbal form in this book’s companion Building Thinking Skills® Level 3 Verbal. Students 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. Answer Guide Included
