SECTION I
Getting Started
- » All children are gifted. Although all children are special, gifted children are exceptional learners, often learning at a pace and level of complexity that exceeds other children of the same age.
- » You must be gifted in everything if you are truly gifted. Children vary greatly in how their giftedness is demonstrated. Some are gifted in one area and at grade level (or below) in other areas, while some may show their exceptionalities in multiple areas.
