"Primarily Logic" is a good workbook for teachers to use with students who struggle beyond literal comprehension. It is sequential in difficulty and covers classification, relationships and analogies. It has helped 4th and 5th grade students with reading difficulties.

A book with a fairly decent selection of various activities, though a few of the questions and answers are not straight forward enough for children (regardless of their IQ) and most adults would disagree with a few of the answers here and there. However, it's a good selection and a place to start for these types of activities. I'd buy it again.

I'm using this with my third-grader. She enjoys the book. The work seems right at her level. As another reviewer said, we do occasionally run into problems that are poorly worded or for which the answer seems odd. It happens often enough to be memorable but not often enough to take more than one star from the review. Maybe once every 20 lessons or so? So that is an annoyance, but it isn't more than that.

We aren't to the point of discussing any logic theory at all, but the exercises here help form the foundations for more traditional logic when she is older.

The book has 42 lessons, with each lesson being one page long, and set up like a worksheet. There is no lengthy didactic component (which I think is a good thing for this age group).
