Learning and
Mindful Preparation for School
 First Steps to Building
Thinking Skills- this
series develops organized analysis skills as well
as the essential spatial and auditory skills
preschoolers need to become successful problem
solvers. The First Steps to Building
Thinking Skills is designed for
children age 3 and age 4, and was
developed by Dr. Jerome Rosner.
 Beginning
Mathematical Reasoning
has quick, fun, easy to use problems to build
arithmetic and mathematical reasoning skills in 3
and 4 year olds. This book is designed to
place your child in the top 4% math skill level
entering kindergarten.
Beginning Mathematical Reasoning is
written to standards set forth by the National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Our
Mathematical Reasoning Series
includes
specific levels for Kindergarten, 1st
grade, and up through 8th grade.
Building Thinking Skills, Beginning
Highly
effective verbal and nonverbal reasoning activities to improve child's
vocabulary, reading, writing, math, logic, and figural-spatial skills,
as well as their visual and auditory processing.
Methods The activities are
developmentally sequenced. Each skill (for example, classifying) is
presented first in the semi-concrete figural-spatial form and then in
the abstract verbal form. Children learn to analyze relationships
between objects, between words, and between objects and words as they:
- Observe, recognize, and describe
characteristics.
- Distinguish similarities and
differences.
- Identify and complete sequences,
classifications, and analogies.
These processes
help children develop superior thinking and communication skills that
lead to deeper content learning in all subjects.

skills considered indicative of future school
success and gifted potential.
