The Critical Thinking Co. is one that I see every year at convention and am always impressed with their products. Not only have I been impressed with the superior quality of their books, but I’m pleased with the variety of products that they offer in areas that I cannot easily find resources for from other vendors. I’m sure you will recognize their logo, as this company has definitely made its presence known in the homeschooling arena.

For years, I thought of BTS as something slightly scarier than eating fire ants on "Fear Factor". Once you discover the thinking behind Building Critical Thinking, it's not that scary.
Now if I could just get the Level 2 back from a certain bright bulb….
Critical thinking is great for applying what they learn.
