How to Teach Gifted Non-Readers

 

How to Teach Gifted Non-Readers - Differentiating Instruction for GT Students of All Ages. "Although early reading – sometimes from toddlerhood or even infancy – is frequently an indication of extreme precocity, many intellectually gifted children will learn to read on pace or even later than their age peers. Regardless of whether a gifted child's latent reading ability is a result of a learning disability, an unusual learning style or a lack of willingness – an appropriate educational plan will still provide the student with intellectually appropriate stories, language activities, and other learning challenges that are not related to reading level."
