Building Thinking Skills Book 2

Some workbooks teach facts. Building Thinking Skills Book 2 teaches your child how to use them.

Designed for upper-elementary learners, this comprehensive workbook strengthens the reasoning skills students use across every subject. Through more than 400 engaging pages, your child learns to analyze information, identify relationships, evaluate possibilities, and draw logical conclusions with increasing confidence.

The activities cover a wide range of thinking skills, including analogies, classification, deductive reasoning, sequencing, Venn diagrams, map skills, visual-spatial reasoning, and mental manipulation of two-dimensional figures. Concepts are introduced gradually and practiced in a variety of formats, allowing students to build both competence and confidence.

One of the biggest differences between Book 2 and earlier levels is the complexity of the thinking required. Students are asked to consider multiple clues, track several relationships at once, and work through longer chains of reasoning. Instead of looking for a single obvious answer, they learn to organize information, eliminate possibilities, and support their conclusions with evidence.

The visual activities make challenging concepts accessible, while the verbal exercises strengthen vocabulary and analytical thinking. Together, they help students develop the flexibility to approach problems from different angles and apply what they've learned in new situations.

Many children come to see the puzzles as challenges rather than assignments. Along the way, they're developing the observation, reasoning, and critical-thinking skills that support success in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies.

Research on the Building Thinking Skills series has shown measurable gains in academic performance, and the program has earned recognition from educators, homeschoolers, and organizations such as Mensa.

For students who are ready for more sophisticated reasoning challenges, Building Thinking Skills Book 2 provides a substantial workout for the mind—one that builds both confidence and capability with every page.
