Reading

"The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination." Elizabeth Hardwick

Gifted children often choose books that are above their grade level. If you sit and listen to your child, you'll likely find this to be true.

A book opens the door to many possible adventures and learning opportunities.

It introduces new characters that your child can relate to or recognize differences in.

It goes a long way in inspiring and encouraging children. It can help to calm them or be a diversion from stress.

Gifted children tend to go through a lot of books quickly.

Sometimes, they have more then one on the go. If one doesn't hold their interest, they'll put it down and try another.

Teachers in the regular classroom need to provide books at the level of the child.

Otherwise, gifted students, because they're not challenged, may not move forward the way they are capable of doing.

Ideally, the teacher should act as a guide and recommend books and not demand certain ones.

It won’t take very long for a teacher to realize that her gifted student enjoys a wide variety of books.

I have also began a list of books about gifted children that I find helpful and informative.
