Curriculum designed specifically for Gifted Children
Consider piecing together a complete curriculum using books from the curriculum/education section of our recommended books page. My children have particularly enjoyed Edward Zaccaro's Challenge Math series.
Other options for single subjects or complete curriculum include:
- The College of William & Mary Center for Gifted Education's Curriculum for Language Arts, Math, Science & Social Studies
- Royal Fireworks Press Language Arts Curriculum for Gifted Children
- Moving Beyond the Page (Anecdotally, I've been told that the levels are too simple for the ages/grades indicated. You may want to consider purchasing a higher level than suggested by the publisher.)
- The Teaching Company (DVDs & CDs of college courses. Sales are common. Visit our discounts page before you buy!)
- The Art of Problem Solving texts (Math texts for highly able students in grades 6+ or approx. age 11+)
- Mensa's free Lesson Plans for gifted children (K-12; More are being added, so keep checking back)
