Gifted Reading
Grades 3/4 and 5/6 Curriculum
Overview:
Elementary gifted services for reading will be accomplished through the replacement of the core reading instruction. Students will receive core reading instruction from the Gifted Specialist each day for 60 minutes.
Gifted students’ learning is best served by thematic, broad-based and integrated content rather than just single subject areas. An entire content area arranged and structured around a concept can be mastered in much less time than is traditionally allotted. Concept based instruction expands students’ opportunities to generalize and apply ideas. Gifted students benefit greatly from curriculum experiences that cross and go beyond traditional content areas.
