If you are new to The Critical Thinking Company range we strongly recommend purchasing the appropriate level of
Building Thinking Skills in addition to this bundle. Building Thinking Skills Level 1 is recommended for use by students in Gr 2-3 and Building Thinking Skills Level 2 for students in Gr 4-6. Your able 3rd grader reading at a 4th grade level may be ready for Level 2 of Building Thinking Skills. This series teaches core analytical skills independent of subject knowledge and many gifted learners are ready for the material well before one would expect based on their age. Have a look at the
sample pages to help you decide on the best level for your child. If in doubt start with Level 2 and purchase the software instead of the book (it allows for more repetitions of difficult areas). If you find that Level 2 is too difficult you can always purchase Level 1 later but if you start too simple you'll have a book you don't use.
