Thinking Skills
reS-Basic preschool skills are reviewed and reinforced in Thinking Skills. Classifying, comparing and contrasting, sequencing, visual discrimination, patterns, and problem solving concepts are reinforced through the interactive software and the workbook. Animations are bright and colorful. Instructions for each activity are read aloud, and audio encouragement is given after the completion of each screen. The material is presented in an entertaining and eye-catching manner. Randomized problems bring a freshness to these puzzle pages The material is not so much instructional as a source to sharpen existing skills or reinforce learned concepts. Users are rewarded with printable certificates and the opportunity to play a game. Pages from this electronic workbook are printable for off-screen practice. Personalized progress reports are available to help teachers or parents keep track of students' progress. Preschoolers will find some challenge in the material, especially if they have had little interactive computer software experience. The installation is simple, although there are no instructions.Denise A.
