Lifelong Learning - Give your children better thinking and problem solving skills for life! Children who enjoy problem solving and thinking have an excellent chance of becoming successful lifelong learners.

THEY WORK! We used some of these terrific books for a number of years with two girls who had many significant learning challenges. WOW! What a difference we saw in their thinking, reasoning and verbal skills, not to speak of their academic progress. These would good for most children.

SPECIAL NEEDS CHILD? Call us at 519-925-9721 for specific recommendations to address specific learning challenges.

FREQUENCY: Designed to be used 2-3 times per week, 15-20 minutes, but many children want to do the activities every day!

NOTE: Grade and age levels are suggestions only. Often older children will benefit from lower level books to build their thinking foundations. The teacher guides are essential for some books and are certainly handy in all cases for the busy parent, and particularly for the parent who needs to learn some of the concepts themselves. It also helps in solving disputes between the child who "knows it all" and the parent who is convinced they have the correct answer!
