Mind Benders are carefully developed deductive logic puzzles. To solve them children need to carefully analyze each word and the precise meaning of the clues provided. This enhances reading comprehension and develops the type of reading needed for testing. Deductive logic in itself is an important test taking skill. Deductive logic is the skill used when one doesn't know the answer but uses the information provided to eliminate the obviously wrong and improve ones chances of guessing accurately.

Mind Benders are fun puzzles.  Your child may not even realize they're working.

Choose from book or software formats for most levels.  Each cd contains the same puzzles as two of the books.
