Grids for Kids
We have written a series of logic books designed to teach children how to solve Logic Grid puzzles. The goal is to train and develop the logical machinery of the mind, which is so necessary for later success in the mathematical sciences. The “Grids for Kids” series consists of five Level Books, and three Supplement Books. The Level Books each contain puzzles, solutions, and training tutorials. The Supplement Books only contain puzzles and solutions. The books progress in order of difficulty, with Level One being the easiest level. One side benefit from this series that we’ve seen in our own children, is a greater attention to detail in the precise use of language.

What a fun way to build a foundation for logical thinking. You child will not be bored doing the same thing over and over because the levels offer a gradual progression in difficulty. I love how the steps are taught and explained in the guides. The format is easy to use with clear answer keys.
