Reviews
“Students who are still acquiring English face a lack of background knowledge in English and the skills necessary to process the new information. Building Thinking Skills® has helped me meet both these challenges, and I have test scores and happy faces to back this up.” – Britta, ESL Dept., Tucson, AZ
“When my students took the Stanford Achievement Test, they scored well above grade level in everything except thinking skills. I heard about Building Thinking Skills® from a friend.…After working with it just one year, they maxed out the thinking section of the test at the 99th percentile.” – Mary, New Market, MD
“My 8th-grade granddaughter finished both Building Thinking Skills® [Level 3 books] before taking the Iowa Test of Basic Skills. She scored post-high school–in fact she was ‘off the charts!’” – Eleanor, Atlanta, GA
“Our students had taken the Woodcock-Johnson test, then they did the Building Thinking Skills®. Post BTS, the kids were tested again and had tremendous achievement in their scores. Their language scores improved by three years, and they averaged more than a year’s growth in all other areas.”– Sharon, Rathdrum, ID
“As I was working on the activities with my children, I really had only one question: ‘Where was Building Thinking Skills® when we were kids?’” – Elizabeth, Springfield, MO
