Meeting the Needs of Gifted Readers
Students in the same grade are reading and thinking at a wide-range of levels. They enter
a grade with different strengths, weaknesses, and abilities, and educators face the challenge of

frustrated from a lack of challenge in their own education. It can be overwhelming for teachers to
