EULEXIA (GIFTED READING)

   Many studies have shown that gifted readers are so advanced that they have little to gain from the reading materials and activities normally given to others of their age and grade. They require far less drill and practice than their peers . Gifted readers have special needs just as other exceptional learners do. The greater the ability in reading, the greater the need for a special program commensurate with that ability .

   Gifted readers benefit from special programs and may be penalized if not provided with special attention to help achieve full potential. In short, they need the same diagnostically based instruction that should be afforded to all learners .

   As in the case of struggling readers the key to building an efficient and effective program is in understanding the individual.  Testing to assess potential and current level of performance are critical in addressing the student who is being taught and in building an individual plan to address the specific needs of that human being.
