5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for both parents and teachers!, 19 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This book inspires teachers to keep a sharp lookout for bright young students--including those who may not appear "high-ability" at first glance! Students will be happier and more productive both at school and at home if teachers and parents used approaches to learning described in this book. I think it would make a wonderful gift from parents to a teacher at a parent-teacher conference!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but weak on maths and science, 5 Nov 2008
By Dr. P. Stevens (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book contains a lot of good information and potentially useful ideas. However, the chapter on math and science (Chapter 6) made me, as a person whose natural way to approach the world is through mathematics, want to throw the book across the room. Its approach to these subjects is to turn them into story activities. Suggestions typical of this chapter include that teachers ask children "how are triangles like people?", "how does a tree feel?" and that, to understand arithmetic operations, gifted children should be encouraged to write stories, e.g. about a baker sharing cookies out between trolls. This approach might work with children who are not mathematically inclined, but to a mathematical child it'll surely seem to be taking something that's fun in its own right and wrapping it up as something different and less interesting. Maths and science are fun. They do not need to be turned into creative writing to seem fun! (By contrast, if there was any suggestion that gifted children should approach literature by counting how many characters, scenes and locations there are in a book, graphing the connections and exploring the properties of the numbers and graphs produced, I missed it.)

Here are a few suggestions that IMHO would have been better. Get a good book of science experiments involving basic equipment and let the children do, discuss and extend them. Use Geomag or Polydron for making 3D shapes, and explore regular and semi-regular solids. Introduce nets. Stand back and see what questions come up. (Rigidity? Numbers of faces, edges and vertices? Area? Volume?) Let the children play with calculators. Introduce bases other than 10. Look at things down a microscope. Try to work out how a microscope works, starting with a simple lens. Etc. etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Parents as well as Teachers!!, 21 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This book is fantastic. I bought it as a parent of a gifted child rather than a teacher/professional. It came highly recommended by an Educational Psychologist and I am pleased to say that his recommendation was spot on. I think it would be a really useful resource for any classroom and I found the activities are helpful as a parent. In my opinion this book should grace the shelves of anyone with an interest in gifted, talented or even bright children. It's easy reading and proved to be a very good buy!
