Thinking Skills for Tests: Upper Elementary Workbook – Developing Test-Taking Skills for Standardized Testing (Grades 3-5)

Description

All standardized tests measure the ability to think carefully and critically.
This easy-to-use, fun 220-page book teaches students how to use highly-
effective critical thinking skills and other strategic test-taking skills to
improve their test scores. Unlike most practice tests that lack vital
instruction in test-taking skills, Thinking Skills for Tests teaches and
provides essential practice with thinking skills that form the base of both
verbal and nonverbal reasoning and logic. It also includes solutions with
helpful explanations. In the process of learning and practicing these thinking
skills, students will have the opportunity to practice listening and following
directions. They will also discuss answers so you can assess their thinking
and assure them that they’re thinking carefully. This book also teaches them
to answer questions even when their answer is uncertain or the question is
difficult. This practice can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and remove
obstacles that can hinder students from performing their best on tests.
