Description and Features

Teach students to apply their critical thinking skills when taking tests!

Description and Features

All standardized tests measure the ability to think carefully and critically. This easy-to-use, fun product teaches students how to use nine, highly-effective critical thinking skills and other strategic test-taking skills to improve their test scores. Parents or teachers lead students through the student book using a scripted, easy-to-follow lesson guide (required and sold separately).  The lesson guide also includes answers with helpful explanations.

In the process of learning and practicing these thinking skills, students will have the opportunity to practice listening and following directions. They will also discuss answers so you can assess their thinking and assure them that they’re thinking carefully.  This book also teaches them to answer questions even when their answer is uncertain or the question is difficult. This practice can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and remove obstacles that can hinder students from performing their best on tests.

The colorful, 64-page student book uses engaging, step-by-step lessons and activities to teach these skills:
    • Listen
    • Classify Objects and Concepts
    • Build Vocabulary Through the Process of Elimination
    • Relate Concepts
    • Verbal Reasoning
    • Reason With Analogies
    • Arithmetic Reasoning
    • Sequence
    • Recognize Patterns

Both my 6 year old and my 4 year old loved it! The layout is colorful and attractive. My boys asked to do more pages after they had finished the day’s assignment. The instruction/answer guide is scripted and easy to use. No teacher preparation time is required. I like how Thinking Skills for Tests reinforced the habit of attention for my boys. They quickly realized that if they didn’t listen carefully to my verbal directions, then they would struggle to find the correct answer. Through the book, they learned about patterns, sequencing, classifying, the process of elimination, and more.

Any standardized testing of young children, grades PreK-5, would benefit from Thinking Skills for Tests.
