Thinking Skills

Thinking Skills

We believe thinking skills are very important to learn, since they are somewhat akin to doing exercises for your brain. They also give you practice on the kinds of questions you are likely to encounter on all manner of standardized tests. But all that aside, learning to think critically is actually a lot of fun!

Here are the books we use to help us learn to think better:

Building Thinking Skills, books primary, 1, 2, 3
Creative Problem Solving Activities
Science Brainstretchers
Brain Stretchers
All of these are published by Critical Thinking Books & Software, who have a very wide range of curriculum available in this area.

We also *love* their Mind Benders products–you can purchase it in book form, on CD-ROM, or download it (we did that–it’s the cheapest option, and is very fun to use).
