4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for gifted kids and non-traditional learners!,
By "lisa_schneider" (Helena, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Homeschooling Your Gifted Child: Language Arts for the Middle School Years (Paperback)
This book is full of great, original ideas for teaching gifted kids at home. There's helpful information for determining whether and how your child is gifted, but for me, the most useful part was the language arts exercises themselves. There is a wide range of ideas, writing topics, and suggestions for projects -- they all lend themselves very well to adaptation for different skill levels and learning styles. It's been a great resource and is my favorite supplement to the English textbooks we use with our kids.
