Teach Me: Product Review – Building Thinking Skills Book 1 & 2

We're heavy into our school year crunching subjects in hopes of a warm and lazy summer. What about you? I've been hearing a lot of ho-hum glum is going on in home schools around the globe.The snowy weather has our minds trapped in when are these cold gray skies going to give. How about a little change of pace for breaking up the long winter school days. I'm talking about the Building Thinking Skills Books from The Critical Thinking Co.

Recently Timberdoodle Co. gave my family the opportunity to review Building Thinking Skills Book 1 & Building Thinking Skills Book 2. These books are a great go-to when the kids need a break in their every day routine of Language Arts, Math, History and their other everyday subjects. I tell them to grab their Building Thinking Skills Books and pick a page.

My youngest is doing 1st grade work in our home school and he is using the Building Thinking Skills Book 1. It is recommended for Ages: 7-8 Grade Levels: 2nd-3rd, neither of which he is, but I found with a little bit of direction or explanation of the directions, he caught on very quickly and soon didn't need my help at all.

His review – I like the cool stuff that you do and it helps you to think. He also mentioned he likes the black and white pages. The books aren't colorful with no distracting images.Important for my guy who is a story teller and likes to day dream over images.

My oldest is doing 4th grade work in our home school and is using Building Thinking Skills 2 which is recommended for  Ages: 9-11 Grade Levels: 4th-6th. He can follow the directions on his own and has really been enjoying the books.

His review – I like Building Thinking Skills Book 2 because it has things that challenge me. It offers things that I don't normally get to do during the school day. It's great to take on the road and do in the car too. 

Visit Timberdoodle Co. for these books and other great books by Critical Thinking Press. You can also order a free Homeschool Catalog.
