DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving

Support students in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills with DOT Reasoning and Problem Solving. Designed for speech-language pathologists, this interactive workbook motivates students to practice logical thinking, independent reasoning, and cause-and-effect problem solving in a fun and engaging way.

Students use paint markers (bingo-style daubers, sold separately #ZG-180) to “dot” their answers on game sheets, making practice both hands-on and motivating. Clear directions are provided at the top of each worksheet, so activities are easy to follow and implement in therapy sessions or classrooms.

Targeted Skills

This workbook focuses on nine essential areas of reasoning and problem-solving development:

• Identifying Problems

• Predicting Outcomes

• Determining Causes

• Making Inferences

• Determining Missing Information

• Problem-Solving Strategies

• Sequencing

• Identifying Facts & Opinions

• Determining Absurdities / Justifying Opinions

Why It Stands Out

• Skill-Building: Strengthens logical thinking, reasoning, and decision-making.

• Interactive Format: Hands-on “dotting” activity makes practice engaging.

• Versatile Use: Perfect for therapy sessions, classrooms, or small groups.

• Comprehensive Coverage: Builds both language and thinking skills needed for academic and real-world success.
