Description and Features

Each of the myriad of skills and concepts taught in this 384-page book and in its companion book Building Thinking Skills® Level 3 Figural provide students with unmatched analysis (thinking) skills necessary for success in reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and standardized tests in Grades 7-12. This book targets analysis in reading and writing while the Figural book targets figural-spatial analysis. Students also learn important academic vocabulary and concepts as they analyze relationships between objects, between words, and between objects and words.

The Building Thinking Skills Level 3 workbook offers great content and teaches those who use it the life skills of analysis and critical thinking. I felt that it is best for students to go through this resource fairly independently. The problems in the workbook allow them to be suitably challenged, while not getting frustrated. Very nice.
