Abstract
"Special instructional needs of the gifted child have long been a concern for classroom teachers. Terman's (1925, 194 7, 1959) landmark study of the highly gifted was only the beginning of what has become a major area of interest for educators at all levels. Because reading instruction is at the heart of the curriculum, this subject has been of special concern as it relates to the specific learning needs of the gifted student. Classroom teachers are seeing an avalanche of new curriculum ideas and materials designed to be used with the gifted reader. Unfortunately, these new developments are being suggested in an economic atmosphere which is not too conducive to change. With declining funding for education, this is particularly evident in new program ideas such as those designed for the gifted reader. In addition, societal pressures and attitudes, most notably the return-to-the-basics movement, have done very little to encourage innovation and change. It is with these concerns in mind that this monograph was written. The intent of the authors is to briefly describe the gifted student and then to suggest some specific and practical approaches to meet the instructional reading needs of these students in the classroom."--Page 1.
