Each skill (for example, classifying) is presented first in the semi-concrete, figural-spatial form. Students also learn important academic vocabulary, concepts, and skills as they analyze relationships between objects, between words, and between objects and words by:
– Observing, recognizing, and describing characteristics

These processes help students develop superior thinking and communication skills that lead to deeper content learning in all subjects.
